1911 BS thread

Nice bullseye gun!

 

I'm a STI 1911 Fan. Unfortunately, they stopped making them last year and only do 2011s now.

I don’t own any STIs, but I’ve shot a few. They made me look like a better shooter than I am. Now if my checking account would only cooperate with my gun buying desires.

 

I didn't really join this forum to talk about 1911s, but since I own and shoot several, I'll share a pic of my newest one.........

 

Sexy

My newest acquisition is this 10mm Rock Island 1911 FS.

 

One more try.......

 

I don't suppose you're a ranger.

 

How'd you guess?? You should be a Detective!!

 

Was at the LGS today and they had a Colt 1911 style 38 Super Government.
I didnt really get much info for it since I wasnt really too interested in it.
Talked to a friend later about it. The price was 650. He said I should get back there
and buy it. The serial number lookup only shows that it is a 2012 model year.
Just wondering what others think. Serial #2833433
It looks to be in really good shape. Blued with rosewood grips. Didn't really
see any signs of much wear on the barrel hood or barrel. Trigger was maybe
2 lbs. and reset really short.
Quick search for similar "looking" supers ranged for $800 on up
to 1200 but some could be a lot older.

 

$650 for a Colt Government in any caliber sounds decent. I'd buy it.

 

I figured I would jump in and share a picture of mine.
It’s a 2016 Remington R1 .45 ACP and I bought it brand new. It’s all original and unmodified.

I’ve personally put nearly 2,000 rounds through it and enjoyed every single shot.
I love this thing!

 

I have the R1 Enhanced, and agree that it's a great shooting gun.

 

Little piece I wrote.

My Mark IV Series 80 Colt 1911 Officers Model. Gifted to me, yay me!

 

My first 1911. Dan Wesson Guardian. Only mod I will do is change the grips to G10.

 

That’s quite the standard to have as a first. Enjoy!

 

Thanks!

Been carrying a Sig P938 for a long time which made me want to get an actual 1911. I handled a ton of 1911's before I decided. Was a tough decision.

 

A Dan Wesson was a tough decision?????

 

Kimber, Sig Saurer, Springfield was looking at them all. A lot of money to drop on a pistol so spent my time ya know.
