Jesus, this was your first gun purchase?! I am jealous, though you have seriously screwed over any subsequent purchases - you set the bar on the roof right out the gate. Nice work.

I've shot it over the years every so often, bought off of somebody I knew. But yeah, first one so I'm pretty excited! Thanks
Pretty awesome 1st post there joelia!!!!!
Here's my Hollywood gangster movie gun...
Drool.
The 1911 is a really nice gun, but not ideal as a first purchase. You want to be able to shoot it a lot and shoot effectively. The 1911 is a sweet shooter but expensive to feed. If you have a lot of disposable income then sure go for it. But I'd stick with a .22 handgun or rifle, or if you need a big caliber for SD, go with a 9mm.
Then why not a 1911 in .22LR or 9mm?

I used to call myself a purist when it came to the 1911 but then I realized I was being stupid. The only reason I proclaimed that was because I like all milspec features. None of my guns have beavertail grip safeties, extended slide stops, extended or ambi thumb safeties, forward serrations, rails etc...
To be a real purist I guess you could only collect WWI and WWII USGI guns and Colts. I don't own any 1911's that aren't .45 but I wouldn't turn my nose up to someone that had a 9mm. Supermoto would certainly blow me out of the water when it comes to knowledge and skill with a 1911 and he's probably got individual race guns that are worth more than my entire collection. Nothing wrong with a 1911 chambered in 9mm, it's just not my preference. That's what my Glock 19 is for.

Gorgeous!
How much you want to bet it shoots smooth as glass?! Congrats!!
My first 1911, SW1911 Pro Series in 9mm.
Looking for new sites
Any recommendations? Right now the front is all black, looking for one that will stand out more. Thanks!

My only 1911. Set up for CMP matches:
I don't know much about it other than it's built with a Caspian "National Match" frame and slide. Barrel and bushing are from Kart. It's very tight and was supposedly originally built by a Navy team armorer. (Don't know who or when.) It shoots a lot better than I do.

I never really liked Pachmayr grips, but on that Ruger, they are actually pretty nice.
Lookin' great!

Looks nice. I would not have thought to put the light color grip on it, but they look fantastic.
Looks like a Dan Wesson day. Here is my Guardian in 9mm with replacement grips
