My first 1911

[CleanHarry]

I can't believe I waited so long to get one. I was sent from one pawn to another that "has lots of guns." I just cleared my mind and let the chi wash over me... This is what I found, or, uh... What found me!

Ready...set...go!

Always special when you get your first. I have lots of handguns but a 1911 will always hold a special place for me.

BTW, a Springer Loaded is a great first 1911...

Nice piece. I'd look at buying a set of actual grips for it instead of the wraparound that's on it, but that's just me. Some people love those things. I can't stand them.

And yes, that's not "your 1911", it is indeed just your first. Most people wind up with a couple.

I happen to really like the Springfield offerings, too. I believe that's what yours is?

Ah, welcome to the 1911 addiciton! So much to learn and do with your pistol, and it looks like you're off to a good start with it! Congrats on what will be the start of many to come, I'm sure.

Nice first. That's not a loaded, it's a mil spec, a solid base for a custom or a nice shooter as is.

Maybe not the deep end...

But you sure avoided the shallow end of the pool when you dove in.

Most folk start off a bit more basic. I applaud your sense of adventure in your selection - nice!

Yeeeeaaaahhhh, now I'm seeing lots of 1911s...

Sig... Kimber.... Wilson... Remington... And bears, oh my!

Nice lookin' piece. Let the addiction begin

A six-incher w/ a brake... that thing's huge.

Not my cup of tea, but, Congrats on your first!

 

[EezyBeezy]

Congrats! Nice shooting.

 

[Reconinforce]

Congrats! Looks like a fun shooter. Mine is the RIA tactical. Great start for getting into 1911s

I like it. Looks really sharp.

Like the username as well. Pretty clever. I needed the chuckle

That won't pass for a mil-spec 1911 at any place that I go, nor is it a fully tricked out gun. Looks like it might have started life as a mil-spec then got some aftermarket stuff added.

MilSpec with add-ons... Yup

Keen eye...

This thing ain't no Ferrari, it's a Caddy! Heavy, compensated... Luxuriously smooth and comfy!

Nice choice for your first 1911! Awaiting first range report.

 

[mesinge2]

Nice first 1911 but you do realize that you opened a can of worms right?


I started with just one too and now this below is not even close to all of the ones I have:

Holy Cow!

Awwww Man! Gimme a 10-pack of that to go! You have more? WOW!
