P.S. I just noticed on the S&Ws it has a warning "Capable of being fired with Magazine removed." Does that mean other 1911's wont fire the one in the tube if theres no mag? I've never tried and never thought about it.

They will all fire with the magazine removed. S&W is just being lawyerly.

Thanks X!

O.k. I have one standing order from my Father when I house sit when they are away ...in case of fire, save the Harley. So out of curiosity to the members with 10+ 1911s, theoretically, if you can grab one on your way out...which one?

The piles I've seen would force me to use my adrenaline rush to pick up my safe and carry it out to escape a fire!!! I only have four guns and you can bet they will all escape, that is after I get my wife and kids out.

LOL, good stuff Xavier! :)

First, I don't know everything, and all I know is that I don't know.

2nd, I didn't know Remington made a 1911 (But it looks great!)

III, I saw in a documentary recently that during the civil war Remington and Colt both vied for military pistol contracts, was that Remmy meant to see service or does it just look a heck of alot like a "GI" model?

Robert,

Yes, the Remiginton Rand M1911A1 is a US GI service pistol.

M1911A1s (the real deal WWII GI guns) were made by Remington Rand, Ithaca, Colt and Union Switch & Signal. 500 guns were also made by Singer (sewing machines).

M1911s (WW1) were produced by Colt, Remington-UMC, and Springfield Armory with a few by North American Arms Company. Savage also had a contract, but produced no pistols.

Much historical informationas well as other good to know stuff and trivia can be found here and here.

My stomach hurts from laughing. :D

And I thought 1911tuner had a problem.... Then as I scroll I realize that he could be the leader in a 1911aholics anonymous class where xavier would be the one wearing the straight jacket in the corner mumbling about external extractors and shaking uncontrollably.

Thanks to you two for making me feel less ashamed of having to have more 1911's, even if I already have 5. I'll be sure to take some new pics for everyone. None of mine are pictured yet (exactly).

Xavier, your mil-spec is making mine jealous with it's flat MSH and long trigger. Damn you. Now I'm going to mope to bed and be depressed.

:cuss:

I've posted this in the other recent "show your 1911" thread, but I like looking at it (and shooting it, and holding it, and snuggling it, and...nevermind). Here go's again.
