New 1911 picture thread

[sammy]

I wouldn't bump the old one so I thought it would be OK to start another.

Time to bump this back up.

All these targets were shot offhand at 15 yards using a 200g. LSWC over 4.3 grains of Bullseye.

First up is one I shot today. Les Baer Premier II:


Next, Les Baer Thunder Ranch, 40,000 plus rounds through this one. Still a tack driver.


Springfield Professional

Here's mine in an older Army shoulder holster from the 90's. I just treated the leather with some Neatsfoot oil and let it soak in for a week.

Here's my trio (not together as I didn't feel like taking a new "group pic")

An STI Spartan (.45 ACP), an STI DVC Limited (.40 S&W), and my 2011 "Frankengun" (.40 S&W) I built on a CK Arms frame and Para Ordinance slide.

Dan Wesson Valor - I have owned ten 1911s total - including two Ed Browns and a Springer Custom Shop Gun. This Dan Wesson is hands down, my favorite 1911 of them all...

Always nice to see one of those older .38 Supers! Love my Lightweight Commander, along with a extra 9mm. barrel assembly.

Bone stock, but one of my go-to pistols ...


Couple of Colt's ...


A random Kimber (just to show that I'm an equal opportunity type of guy) ...


Yeah, I guess I'm a fan-boy ...
