Show your 1911.

My Sti Spartan have only taken it out once but going again tomorrow

 

I'm sure someone must have an earlier one - perhaps even a WWI 1911 - but my 1911A1 was produced about September 1944. It did not go through a rebuild and is still tight and shoots like it was new.

 

That Remington looks mint- aren't they re-making the GI Issue for the 100 year anniversary?
And I've found most Kimbers shoot comparably, whether it's the old Custom or a new Gold Combat. The only real difference in my mind is finish and little extras- mag chute, rail, or some melting.

 

The top one is a tricked out Para. Was my IPSC race gun.

Middle one is a tricked out Commander with genuine Louis W. Seecamp double action mod.

Bottom one is a Gold Cup National Match with a Crimson Trace laser.

AMT made a Longslide that had a 7" barrel and slide, I had one and it shot well with little muzzle flip. It was stainless and part of the Hardballer series. It was a cheap alternative to a muzzle brake. The increased sight radius was neat too. You could do a lot more with it than the usual 5" variants...like 'point shooting', no need to bring the sights up to eye level. Just do a Weaver stance hold it at shoulder level with both hands and engage the plates, be surprised how well you could do with little practice. Wasn't particularly conducive to CCW though.

It did require special holster considerations. I used the Bianchi #5 Black widow, which was an open-bottomed job. The Yaqi style also worked well.

I can play...

Kimber Tactical Entry II

 

I am happy with this one

 

the only problem ive run into with the sig is that no one makes holsters for them...i had a holster made for my 1911 Tac-Ops

the holster was made by

 

Why would a holster for a Sig. 1911, be any different than any other 1911?

 

My EMP:

 

Did they have to make it custom to your gun or have they made several for the Sig 1911?

 

That was my point in the above post, there are no differences between companies, a 1911 is a 1911, per OD specs. Then he had one custom made anyways, I'm a little confused.

 

I had the holster made for my EMP. Most of these leather holsters are made in one man shops and aren't mass produced and you can usually order them with custom features like the color of the stitching and what not

 

the slide is more like a traditional sig sauer gun and not 1911ish





see the difference in the slide

sig also makes a more traditional 1911 too

 

he made my holster and another guys holster at the same time i dunno if he made a mold from our Sig 1911 railed guns or not

 

Kimber, PX4, Ithaca & CX4

 

I have to ask, has anyone here got their hands on one of the ruger Sr1911s?

if so, how are they?

 

Ive heard nothing but good about them

 

sweet, when i turn 21, i am buying one

I have had only good things from ruger......so lets hope i keep up the trend

only way it wont be my first pistol i purchase is if a family friend of ours sells his WWII era 1911, then it will be mine!!!!

i'd buy it for whatever he asked lol

 

IYea only reason I don't own one is I couldn't find one
