Official 1911 Pic Thread...

[SJan]

Follow up from this thread SA Compact in 38 Super

I wish someone would post a pic of one of these wonderful builds, after years of being carried/ used. Because if I had one of these, it would have LOTS of character after a few years.

This is my Springfield that I purchased From Lou at BEC in 2011. This was built before Lou's custom Morse code work became a thing.
I have shot it in countless USPSA and steel matches, It has been to 3 Area 7 championships and a SingleStack national championship at Pasa Park. I estimate 70,000 rounds. I forgot that I had it refinished, It must have been about 4 years ago that I took it back to Lou for some fresh cerekote, before that it was very worn on holster contact areas and from my sweat.

Some beautiful 1911’s in this thread.

Recently added some parts to my Springfield 9mm 1911. Wilson magwell, mag release, checkered front strap, and flat faced trigger.

I just love 1911s. Always have - just simple elegance. I hope a Derr and/or BEC is in my future someday.

#3 obv not a 1911 but it joined the SAO family and I’m thankful for it. Fits right in.

I've posted this somewhere else here, but it's so dupeworthy!

The holster is a well worn Don Hume. It was my Dad's, a really nice piece of leather.

^^^ Thats awesome. Nice piece of nostalgia there, that holster will outlive both of us.

How are you liking the Colt Competition? Looking to pick one up very soon. Still deciding on stainless or blued version. Leaning towards stainless.

I love it - I can shoot the same hole every shot. I preferred the look of the stainless versus the blued, but it’s easier to fix if you do inadvertently do the “idiot scratch” but I haven’t done that yet. It’s all about putting it together the right way after a good cleaning.

Well as my dads cousins collection is just about sold off. It's been seven years, he told me to keep a few if I really wanted them but we needed money for the estate. I think I've kept maybe ten long guns. I just pay the 15% Commission and FFL Transfer fee to the guy who's been selling off the collection. Well, I told him years ago there was only one handgun I wanted, and here it is, I'll do a little plinking with today in the yard before I go back to the Communistwealth of Massachusetts.

I’m sure I’ve posted this somewhere before. Pay no attention to the “other” Randall, the one with the blade.

c. 1984 Randall A131. Love it. I carry it frequently.

 

[45collector]

I’m absolutely paying attention to the other Randall as well. They’re both gorgeous.

I feel lucky to have that one. I'd wanted a Buxton for a long time.

I'm never parting with either of these, I don't think.

Kudos to Greg Derr aka Dr. 1911. The man is a frickin artist. He tuned up these two beauties for me.
