1911 picture thread...let's see them!

[KodiakBeer]

The Firing Line has a monthly contest - not limited to 1911's, but to any firearm. I probably shouldn't be adverting another forum here, but I see many of the same members on both forums.

doc540, Sweet colt.

BTW, what's the Knife and where can I get one?

 

[cobblestone]

you can get the knife at m1911.org......it takes standard 1911 grips so it can match your pistol

 

[mesinge2]

Thanks, cobblestone.

I just ordered one with the Sheath

My limited edition Kimber Target Match. I have a bunch of 1911s. This is one of my favorites.

Best regards.

The photo doesn't show the wear on this gun, but it's there, as is a nice small crack in the right grip panel!

Just aftermarket trigger and sights.

I didn't post any of the custom 1911s I have because I think closest to the original = very, very cool and nice looking.

This one is about as close to original that I have, so I'm in the market!

Here's mine. SS Para GI Expert and parkerized Springfield Loaded. Only thing I've done is put a Hogue grip on the Para.

Well done, Sharps, that is one great looking 1911. What are you considering for the finish?

I especially like how you made some of the modern upgrades - like the ambi safety - look retro.

That is one very cool 1911. Thanks for posting it.

Take care,
DFW1911

haha carpenter's dream, flat as a board!

 

[DFW1911]

Sharps,

I'd buy that green 10mm from you in about 1 second: it looks great.

Re: the retro, yep, it needs a period-specific finish. In other words, military.

I'm sure we'll be seeing pics when you're done with it?

Take care,
DFW1911

I curse the day you sold that thing. It was supposed to be mine and you wait until a week after I buy a custom 1911... You're lucky I like you.
