1911 Picture Thread

Post em up!

Bought from dadcpu a couple months ago. Kimber Custom II

Here are three of mine

Colt Ace

Kimber Custom Target II

Kimber Pro Carry II

My 1st 1911................

Here's a few of mine...

Springfield Armory loaded SS 45ACP

My daily carry:

Coonan .357mag!

Bax - pretty Baer you have there. How does it shoot compared with the Springfield?

More 1911 porn.

newagesmythie.........You Da Man!!!

i now have a major chubby jeeps! that is freaking sweet!

I haven't shot em side by side yet, but I will say the Springer is 90% as tight as my Les Baer, but FWIW the Baer is the tightest fitting 1911 I have ever handled. I will report back after a side by side comparison.

I like this one.

these are the 2 i have out of the safe right now. i agree with bax about the les being the tightest fitted 1911 i have owned. i have colts, SA, taurus, kimbers, and a ria but the les is the only one i have actually had to use the barrel wrench to get the bushing out. i carry the sa loaded in the pic with me daily. and the les was a recent purchase so i still have it out fondling it. the last gun was a ria that was my toolbox gun at work

here are a couple. first, my old colt. its a shooter! 1913 frame, wwII slide. drop in beavertail, raised sights (not pictured), updated internals with a PERFECT 3lb trigger. now has a drop in storm lake threaded barrel:



second, the unicorn. springfield professional. 2001 production with the nowlin barrel, 1.5" at 25yds and the initial fbi spec called for samples to still hold less than 2" at 2yds after 20,000 rounds. tight, still need to use a bushing wrench to disassemble. slide rides like it is on ball bearings. all hand fit, hand checkered, handsome!

Here are some of mine:

Here are a few of mine!!!

The perfect pair.



Wilson CQB Elite and CQB Compact

Approaching perfection......


Wilson Tactical Super Grade

One of my 4 Wilson Combat 1911's
I'll post the rest later. This one is a "tack driver"

1.5" at 50 yards from the factory (5 shot group)

Les Baer Premier II

That's a compliment to the gun but also a reflection of the shooter. Well done!!

My first gun

Great photograph snoname!

Thanks! Nice guns btw... Maybe a little jealous (or a lot, but I've got time, I'm only 20)

I have a few others but no pics on my photobucket.

Will

sold a springfield wish i never had now this my only one. colt mk4 70 series

The three I currently have. Springfield TRP, Sig Platinum elite carry, Colt Defender (VZ grips)

I'd like to ask members posting pics of 1911s tell us what they are if it's not obvious or identifiable in the pic.

jason7423, yours look like a Springfield, Sig, and ??

My Colt Defender, which since I have gotten the CrossBreed SuperTuck has become my daily carry piece. Love that holster!

The knife is from Ultimate Equipment , and just arrived today. Merry Christmas to me!

Edited

I've got the itch for another 1911. All I've ever had was a Firestorm clone, a Kimber Ultra Carry II, and a Taurus. Craving something Springfield.

You can't go wrong with a Springfield. I've had several. IMHO, it's the best mass produced 1911, generally speaking.

Les Baer Extreme Tactical (one of 500)

Newest Edition to my fleet and my first "80 Series" style

Go clean that thing ;-)

I have never owned a 1911 but I promised myself I would get a 1911 for the 100th anniversay last year. However I had no idea I would be building one. I started this back in November and do work on it as time permits. This is blending in the beavertail.

There she is (and I'm not really even a 1911 guy) - my left-handed 1911 (bought off of this site) and my left-handed Weatherby Mark V Deluxe and a whopping big Virginia buckle to keep it all relevant.



Kudos to LeChuck for his advice on using Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish to restore the mirror finish to shiny metals!

Tell us who built the 1911!

Springfield V12 stainless with bull barrel. "Range Officer" sights and G10 Operator grips.

Oops, it's a Randall. As far as I can tell, back in the 80's Randall made the first stainless steel 1911s and also the first lefties (of this model there are about 225 per the Blue Book of Gun Values). They eventually sold their equipment and left over inventory to Safari Arms who made a few lefties called "the Renegade" - I think Safari Arms got bought up by Olympic Arms (?) who sold the last of the left hand stock. I've since seen 1 Caspian made in left-hand on gunbroker and wish I had had the funds at the time to aquire it. I've heard that a company in Canada was making a lefty, but all my searches have come up empty. This Randall has the box, manual, and a second set of target grips. The seller bought it as an investment and never shot it. The original owner shot it, but didn't really clean it. I took it completely down and cleaned and polished it to the point that my finger tips are tender and missing a few layers of skin! If there's anything I love more than shooting my guns, it's getting to clean them up when they're really dirty. Incidentally all the internals are flipped too, even the rifling is counter-clockwise!

Have two Baers, PII and TRS. Can't say enough good things about them. My opinion, the best out there.

tspike, that's a great "GI" picture!

Tell us more about the 1911 - an authentic looking one!

And, it's a 1911, NOT a 1911A1!

Indeed it is an authentic 1911 with a born on date between Oct. 24, 1918 to April 10, 1919. I rescued it about 7 years ago from the bottom of a old tool box at a yard sale in Yorktown. Picked it up for $75 along with the toolbox and assorted old hand tools. It was void of any finish sporting only a light coat of rust along with the original two tone magazine loaded with 1940's dated ammo.
I had it bead blasted, removed the sights replacing them with taller later dated sights. Parkerized it, installed a NOS WWII barrel and link and have been carrying it since.
I own 6 1911's and this is by fay my favorite even though it still bites me every time I take it to the range.

A great piece of history and a fascinating story to go with it!

You were very lucky to have found it and purchased it for such a low price. The story reminds me of finding the rare old Harley in a barn....

Thanks for rescuing it and for sharing it with us.

Dang man, Ive got some catching up to do.

Just got back into the 1911 game after getting rid of my Para Ordnance two years ago.

Picked up a SW1911 with light rail tonight. Very impressed with the fit and finish. Very nice gun.

Some great looking props in those photos!

Welcome to VGT Pancho!

Is that ported? How does it shoot?

Why not move this to the 1911 section on the board?

I just made a post in the 'retailers' section. There's a guy in NOVA making custom 1911 smooth grips from a choice of about 50 woods



This is his first set of uniquely left-handed plastic injected burled maple grips for my Randall 1911

Moved!

I built this one for pin matches. It's a Colt National Match slide and barrel on a Para high capacity frame. The muzzle brake was a custom job. Softest shooting .45ACP I've ever fired.

My customized Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical in .45 ACP and my new Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical in 9mm. Only thing done to the newly purchased 1911 is the addition of black Novak grips.

Where is the compensator on the Nickel one from?

Purchased online from eBay. Picked up the parkerized version and Pearce finger grips for the other 1911 as well.

Decided to give my 9mm Tactical 1911 it's own photo spread.

I just bought a SIG 1911-22 will post pics when I get my new grips,thread adapter and stainless guide rod

Next 1911 will a 9mm

My Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry.

Two of my Series 70 Government Models.

Here are pictures of my recently refinished trs. It was in rough shape. Decided to get it cleaned up and reblued so I took it to Rick at Tti. I am very happy with the results. I knew it would not turn out as a beauty queen. I thought I would share some before and after pictures for you all. Gotta give a shout out to Rick though this thing was a mess and he did the best he could and I could not be happier. Thank god the grips cover most of the pitting!

Here are the pictures.

Before

After

Here are my 1911s. First time posting pictures, hope it works!

The only 1911 I own just a 22 tho would like to add a Rock Island in 9mm someday

Hpancho Your titan looks alot like mine guess great minds think alike

This is one I wanted for a long time. I'm sure I paid too much for it but it is a real hoot to shoot. Lots of muzzle flash and a lot of noise but almost no felt recoil

Remington R1 Enhanced:

Kimber stainless ultra carry. I picked this up used four years ago with three mags for $600. Never did like it really.




Nothing but good to say about my PT1911. I grabbed this when they were new for $400, and other than the right side of the ambi safety snapping off, not a single complaint. Replaced it with a Wilson Combat ambi.

My oldie.

I love the Smith Rear sight!

Baer Pair

Newest addition to the family..

Picked this up last week during a stop in Charlottesville from a day trip in Richmond.

Loaded SA custom build. Every part replaced saving the frame/slide.

Marlin Camp45

Its not a pistol but it uses 1911 45ACP magazines and a good companion.

ok ima throw a turd in the punch bowl .... this is how the gun came to me it was a competition gun , bomar sight rail , stippled frame , lightened trigger , some special guide rod and bushing , fat trigger shoe , serial number puts this gun at 1918 and yes it is a colt

Interesting use of a 1918 to say the least

I'm odd then cause I think that's wery sexy.

Its very likely the pistol is setup to shoot wadcutters and with very light loads. Don't shoot factory loads thru it or you could crack the frame. Has new seen it?

My new one.

Are you sure that the frame is a 1918 date? That frame is an A1 which would put it a few years after 1918.

mine too

Decided I should post what was done to the 1911. Here is my only 1911 I own at present.

If you do not count the Kimber Aegis in 9mm.

Big brother got a little brother to play with today.

Guess what this is! [i][/i]

"Guess what this is."

A custom Dan Wesson?

Close, It's a NEW Model for 2015, it's called The "Silverback".
Available in 10mm and 45 ACP!
One of their Top of the line models! I LOVE it!
http://cz-usa.com/product/dw-silverback-45-acp/

Nice looking DW there, WilsonGuy. Knew they were coming out with it but thought it was going to be only in 10mm. How are you liking it so far?

Bad photos of an amazing pistol! I think those grips are the perfect complement for the Kobra. The slide-to-frame fit on the Ed Browns is insane! I like this sort of post, we all post pics of the stuff we want to sell, but it's also fun to show the stuff we would never part with

Not yet but I am eagerly anticipating it.

I'll play. 1952 Lightweight Commander .38 Super

Where did that trigger come from ?

Sorry for the delay in responding. The trigger is called a "Tristar." It's made by Cabot Guns. To my knowledge, they are no longer sold to the public - they determined it was a distinctive enough feature to be a sortof trademark. If you want one, you have to buy one of their guns.

Wilson CQB Elite. Beautiful ladies.

That is wild. Awesome photo of an awesome pair, dude.
