any 1911 enthusiasts out there?

I have a Taurus PT1911, got it at academy for $570 out the door. Great gun.

 

You = Lucky Bastard

Neighbor = Dumb arse

 

Current..

• Les Baer 1 1/2" bullseye pistol with a Ultra Dot sight.
  
• Les Baer 1 1/2" bullseye pistol with open sights.
  
• Kimber Team Match II with a Marvel Unit I upper and Ultra Dot sight.

Past.....

• Smith and Wesson
  
• Springfield Armory
  
• Colt

It's an obsession not unlike home brew.

No, home brew is worse.

 

Actually it's neighbors kids, and brothers who had first crack at it and did not want it/weren't interested in it, before I said I would buy it if he chose to sell it.

 

I have liked pistols for a long time, and prefer pistols made of blued steel and walnut in particular.
1911 Colts, Large Frame S&W revolvers, Browning Hi-Powers do it for me.

The first one is something old... a Colt 1911 circa 1918 vintage.

Next is something new... Springfield Armory 1911A1 Loaded.

Shoot em' both, but usually just reduced velocity target loads in the Colt.

 

Just realized I never posted the pics after Colt finished with her...

 

Very nice. I think I'll change my thumb safety and slide stop back to the blued finish. ..it's a little too much I think.

 

Turkish made 1911 clone. Good 'nuff.
