Im glad to hear from PT1911 owners. I only have 1 1911 and it is the Taurus. It shoots tight groups and has not failed. I carry it everyday.
 
NEW (3 months) Auto Ordinance GI. NOT a POS either. I had a fairly good smith tear it apart and for the most part the parts were tight and cleanly made. Feels good after he stoned and polished everything. For 400 made in U.S. and no freaking billboard on the slide like Rock Island I am happy with my budget 1911. Don't like the sights but they are GI spec. It is a good looking good shooting firearm.
 
I have two Colts. An XSE and an officer's 1991a1. I use both regularly, but the S&W 4566 gets %50 of rounds I bring.
 
I have 3, and 1 in progress.

1) Kimber Classic Custom
2) Colt Custom converted from 38 Super to 9mm
3) Kimber .22 under construction
4) And this shot a lot, shot the most Norinco I modified. A tack driver.

Bac1023, I think you have too many 1911's!!! If you need me to, I will gladly give some of them a good home. Just so they will get the attention they so deserve!!!!! It's for the kids, man.
 
How about some pics.

Recieved a Springfield Armory GI 1911 at a NRA event as a result of a drawing 2 yrs ago. Did same thing this year only it is a High Standard GI which was shipped to FL for delivery so I haven't tried it. Used 1911's in the service so never had a real desire to own one. They just came my way thru pure luck. Overall I prefer my S&W 625 for the 45 ACP cartridge.
 
Ed Brown Kobra Carry, Kimber Raptor II, Kimber Raptor II Pro, Kimber Raptor II Ultra.
 
'76 Colt LW Commander
Berryhill-Caspian GM
Wilson Combat CQB Compact LW (on-order)
 
None at this time, although I'm looking around.

Over the last ten years I've had and dumped two dogs, a Taurus that cracked it's slide and a Para Ordinance Warthog that ate springs and spit brass in my face. I got more satisfaction out of the wall-hanger rust lumps that I've found over the years.
My favorite "Colt .45 acp" to date was a solid hard-rubber dummy that I found when I was six. Very realistic except for the broken hammer spur. Mom freaked when she saw it! A special moment, indeed.

Kimber Polymer Stainless (BUL M5 clone)

Kimber Classic Stainless.

Another kimber that looks just like the classic stainless that's just a "stainless." I dont know what the difference is other than the rollmark, but it makes them easy to tell apart in case the scratches holster wear on my carry kimber arent enough.

4" Kimber stainless. I dont know what the rollmark says, compact stainless IIRC.

All are seires I, wear rubber grips, and have had short guide rods installed.

I also own a Para Companion, but being an LDA, I dont think it counts. It is worth mentioning though.

I had a Colt 1991A1, and a MilSpec springer, that got sold or traded. I miss my springer more. Dont know why.
 
NONE!
I mean, seriously now. The design's very nearly a hundred years old. A freaking century! Sure, people've tried modernizing the thing with polymers, double actions, different calibers than that slow-moving cannonball, double-stack magazines and whatnot..but at the base it's still an antique clunker. There's no comparing it to, say, striker-fired polymer-framed Glock perfection - and those Australian pistols are aesthetically flawless besides.

This is the post. It doesn't appear to be a joke IMO. The only joke is the last line "aesthetically flawless besides".
