Pretty pictures. Thanks Frank.
Did you happen to get as many pics of non-1911's for more generic firearm forums?

I'm afraid not, at least not much.
I was on a mission. And it's hard to imagine how vast this thing is and what the crowds are like. The only way to manage it is make a plan and stick to it.
There is so much utterly fascinating to see -- from camping gear to breaching equipment; from picnic coolers to teargas grenades; from reproduction 18th Century muskets to machine guns. The arrays of military and law enforcement gear, fine Italian side-by-side shotgun, finely crafted hunting rifles, every sort of EBR imaginable, and so on, is true dizzying.
And it's physically a grind. My sciatica has been acting up for the last two days and my feet are threatening to go on strike.
And it's international. I'm sure I heard at least a dozen languages being spoken. Many I suspect were law enforcement in other countries.
As I go through my photos some more I'll look for items which might be of interest here.

Thanks for the pics. I like pics. Much of the coverage this year is video only.

Great report, especially from an M1911 fan perspective. Lots of interesting guns there to ponder on.

Thank you, from a 1911 lover's perspective...nice job.
The Kimber Solo pics were welcome as well. I have been eyeballing the 9mm Solo CDP for at least a year. I love my Kahr PM9, but I am open-minded enough to consider an alternative.
I also have a Kahr CW380 on order, but if the Kimber Solo .380 turns out to be a better option...I'm in. Spoken as a two-time Krap-Tec P3AT owner, and as a two-time Ruger LCP owner.
