There is something about a stock, unmolested, 1911/1911A1 that will always do it for me. I love my modern polymer 9mm options. But, If I could only have one handgun, my Remington Rand 1911A1 would be it.

You just need an ASP 9mm to go with it for retro style points.

The DW is new, been wanting a full size for a while. Itch scratched.
Matching grips were a happy accident.

The S&W is a JMB series Performance Center built in 2003/4 when PC meant hand built/fitted. I guess the PC series went production around 2012. Rumor has it that it was partially assembled with WC parts (as evident by the rear sight) so I added a pair of their starburst grips.

I don't know if I posted this 1911.
This looks like it saw a couple of wars. S/N is from early in 1918.
Then it looks like it was sent back to the arsenal a couple of times.
The trigger, thumb and grip safety are WWII era.
The Colt slide is one of the government slides used in the 50s after they came back for repair.
If anyone has the grip and thumb safety from 1917/1918 please let me know. I'd like to replace those if possible.
Less likely, but if you have an original slide that would be great too.
I may keep the re-arsenaled trigger since they are shorter and I have little tiny hands.

Assume you mean “extra” original parts

Yes. Any era correct parts that you would be willing to sell Or maybe you have a WWII gun, but someone put in WWI parts and we could swap.

Gotcha. I just have an all original 1918, no extra parts sorry.

Sorry, edited to add the others. This is the Browning 1911-22. One of my favorite .22 pistols ever. Eats anything without complaint. Even Remington golden bullets / thunderbolts.

you need one more and you can make a clock face.

I actually forgot about the bright nickel Rock Island. Guess I’ll have to retake the pic tonight when I have a sec.

Awesome. I know you have posted the descriptions before, but I'd love to know what you have there and what are your favorites.
