Let's see I have 7 M1911 variants, from full size Governments, mid-size Commanders, a compact size Officers Model, and a sub-compact size New Agent. Some are all steel while others have lightweight aluminum alloy frames. Some are mainly for range use and home defense while others are more suited for concealed carry. Some are in .45 caliber, while others are chambered for .38 Super, 9mm., and .22LR.
All of them come from the same basic design yet all are different and varied enough to have a unique and well deserved place in my gun collection.
And that's why I have more than one M1911.
