That's not that many years before I got my Colt Combat Commander from a large Midwest distributor. The had an ad for them in Shotgun News and drove there on a Saturday afternoon, getting there about 20 minutes before they closed. It was part of a limited edition (200 in all),done up by Colt's Custom Shop. Tuned and accurized, Gold Cup trigger, and a MMC rear sight; it's my favorite 1911 of all time!

On the other 1911 thread I posted a family get together, but these 2 are my favorites.

@Kevin Rohrer I like your style! That’s all. Carry on!

My requirements for a 1911 were made in USA and stainless when I bought this. Little did I know what the future would bring. I have to say this thing is dead on accurate and has the best trigger I’ve ever pulled. I love it.

Here is our small collection of 4. The Kimber Pro Raptor is my wife's favorite pistol.

Sig Ultra 45

Posted this thinking some sharp eye would cotton to the fact that it’s a CO2 powered BB pistol. None have mentioned it.
Still … good practice for my Colt series 80 Gold Cup.

My first was the Sig (GSG) 1911—.22. Decided I wanted a "real" one, got a good deal on a (Canadian) Para GI Expert. Didn't like the GI plain aspect of it, so made some trades and got my wife a new XD-S, and appropriated her Ruger SR1911 Commander. Liked the extended controls, but missed the balance of the 5" barrel. Sold it, and went without a 1911 for a few years. Browsing one day, found a new one that checked all of the boxes, and was directed to order it. Still haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but here it is :

Chiappa 22 with local made sushh-er

Great for late night backyard safaris.

Pretty sure I've posted this pic before. But WTH, who doesn't like a Colt 1911?

 

[Gordon]

I have a lot of 1911 types :
This was my fathers Match Pistol in the 1950s and passed to me in the 70s. I replaced the worn barrel with a Barsto and in 1981 had Hoag go thru the gun for the umpteeth time (by others ) since it was made in 1913 . It still is a tackdriver and my son's treasure .



Just a nice old 1942 Colt 1911a1 ,


I put a bazillion rounds thru my favorite shooter from 1983-2013 , My son still does

 

[Gordon]

And the list goes on:
my match gun , converted to series 70 by Mr. Lawson in early 90s, those are Flute grade African Ebony stocks by Esmeralda


This little guy is 100% reliable after having Heine parts fitted, I carried it from 1986-2016 and used it as a off side New York reload which Louis Awerbuck trained me to shoot left handed !


Crappy old cell phone pic of an S&W Gunsite edition 1911 Commander made of scandium I just had to have when they first were released, they gave me a good deal at the Gunsmith at Gunsite when I took a class there and tuned it up some 10 or 15 years ago. It is a great shooter and it interchanges in my Commander leather nicely I wore alot. . I still keep it around ready to go, my go to single stack 1911 these days. I have gone to a P 12 and a P 14 in .45acp , finally after I got them perfected..I won't pollute the single stacks we are showing off with them at this time

I remember your thread. Congrats. Looks like you got a Talo Night watchman. Beautiful. Gonna have to get one of those myself.

 

[Logwood]

There's an awful lot of beautiful 1911's here.
This is my Colt Combat Commander. We've been together for a while now. Its made a few trips with me to some bad places, never let me down.

 

[Rodfac]

Here's an odd one...bit of a rarity....Colt's Gold Cup Elite .40 S&W. A good shooter too. And one of my all-time favorite, especially for carry. Sig's 1911 RCS .45 ACP....Best regards, Rod

 

[tuckerdog1]

Here's one I hated. My 2nd 1911. Jam-o-matic. And dented EVERY brass it ejected. But interesting to look at. Not a slew of green guns out there. In 2005, traded it for a Taurus PT1911, which has been a great gun. Still have it.

 

[KyJim]

I like my 1911s (have 27 at last count). Here are a few. First, a Nighthawk Falcon (top) and Dan Wesson Valkyrie:


When I carry a 1911 these days, it's most often the Valkyrie above or the DW CCO:


A Colt Anniversary (III) on the left and an Ed Brown Anniversary:


Top to bottom: CZ 1911, Norinco 1911, and DW A2 Commander:


One of my Baers:


Did I mention I like 1911s?

 

[Reinz]

69’s/70’s Llama 380.

Not 100% 1911, but more so than most of the current crop of miniatures claiming to be.

Did I mention I like 1911s?

Yeah, I did kind of notice a certain proclivity for things 1911, especially after looking at your photos!

I might add, just from what I have seen, an outstanding collection at that!
