Post your .45ACP pics

my .45's

Wow

400 replies to a thread that has spanned many years. But DANG, there's some nice looking .45s

My beauties.

Nothing to look at, me clicking the wrong button. Mods, delete if you want.

Here's mine, all in .45 acp.

Repost

I can't edit my old post (#270) to get the pics back up, so am re-posting. (Mods - feel free to delete if not appropriate to re-post.)

Here are almost 90 years of 1911's. Upper left is an Augusta Armory rebuild model 1911 with a Springfield frame and Colt slide. I think the frame is from 1918, if I recall correctly. Upper right is a WWII 1911A1 Remington Rand, lower left a WWII 1911A1 Ithaca, and lower right a current Springfield PB9108L.

My Colt Gold Cup.

Here's mine

First post

Hello, my name is John, and I'm a gun addict.

This is my first gun. It's just a basic SA 1911 I bought used about 6 weeks ago. Now I just need to get him some "friends".

BTW, I've been lurking for a while, and this site has been very helpful (and entertaining).

guess It's about time for me to contribute something

I've been watching this thread since before I was a member here, and so I guess its only fair I help it grow:

indyogb, Welcome to THR!!!


Nice .45, if I do say.

Hey IWRNC1963,

I recognize those guns... You don't live in the DFW area by chance do you?

Nope, I live in NW Montana. Have now for 18 yrs.

Ah. Sorry. I met a guy last week that has two guns that look exactly like two of yours.

here were a few pics of my first 1911 until i sold it and am now looking for a
5 inch model.

Here's what remains of my .45 acp pistols. Like a fool, I was convinced to sell my Combat Commander, which I now regret.

Glock 21 and Colt Gold Cup NM.

1911 and a nice turntable

I've already posted my Springer, but I've changed it up a bit, so I figured I'd put up an update....

OK I guess I will throw my photo in as well. Springfield stainless Champion. "Bobbed" frame with Esmeralda grips. Novak night sights. Ed Brown hammer, extended mag release, ambi safety, sear, and MSH with 30 lpi hand checkering on the front and rear grip. Squared under trigger guard and 3.5 lb trigger job. Fully supported ramped match grade bull barrel and bright polished slide flats.

Sure, why not.



Two of the three loves on my life. The third wouldn't pose in this one, she's too shy.

I LOVE this group!

After arguing with the .22magnum carry crowd, I find coming in here and witnessing your posts frankly good for the soul!

Just one thing though, my .45’s have seen enough use both in carry and range sessions - that they look NOTHING like your pretty nice shiny .45s!!!

I guess I must be doing something wrong…

I wonder if the moniker ‘shiny edges & thin blue’ is taken here?

Guess I must be of the poorer in this fraternity.

Post pics of 'em. I for one love the "well worn, broken-in" look that guns get that get much use!
