1911 pics?

[Polygon]

This is my loaded Springer. It's become my carry gun while my PM9 is at Kahr.

Nice pistol, nice photo; well done Polygon!
You certainly are not under gunned while your PM9 is away

Darn, I must say again that is a sharp looking pistol!

Damn nice gun there. Their EMP line keeps calling my name. If I ever get my pair of Kimber Customs and can sell them, I will be picking an EMP up for sure!!!

My cheap but reliable Llama Max-I. Congrats bawanna, that's awsome.

Hey, I got one of those. I had mine Parkerized a few years ago, and have the stainless accents, and rubber grips. Like you said it works. I've actually won many a range bet with mine. When I get some more time (maybe Friday ish) I'll see about posting up some pics of that and my Commander. I may also see about borrowing a real piece of history that my uncle has custody of right now. (1911 transitional model, look them up)

Hi jlottmc,
I am going to go out and shoot a few rounds this weekend as well, finally get more then one day off with the holiday. I still have the stock grips stashed away, but they are not the classic looking rubber ones. They are more like harder plastic and are formed around the mag release and up to the beaver tail on the ejection side. The Llama may not be the sexiest date at the ball, but this one has treated me good. They take a beating on the net and I can't join that crowd because this sidearm has been a joy to own. I'll look up that .45 your going to take out Friday and check it out. Have fun this weekend and enjoy your holiday. By the way, I have been thinking about having the frame finished again there are some worn areas were the stock grips marked and I did put a small idiot mark on it as well (you can see it in the pic). What do you think would be a good price to fix that up? Any info would be a great help as I like to keep all of my firearms tip top shape no matter the price. Thank you have a good one.

Thanks!

Photography is another hobby of mine, but I'm not nearly as good at shooting a camera and I am a gun. I got it for such a great deal brand new. I was just lucky it was such a great looking gun as well! And for sure, on one hand I feel very comfortable carrying it. On the other hand I don't. Compared to my PM9, I'm VERY aware it's there.

Thanks!

I love this gun and everyone I've let shoot has fallen in love with it. I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

Bawanna; I'm glad to see you got a SR1911...I can't wait to see what grips you make for it!

Depends on how you want to finish it. If you Parkerize, then watch the extractor (the hook tends to break off) parts are out there for it, but you have to look. It shouldn't cost any more to do the Llama than any other gun, it also takes down like any other 1911, with the exception of the plunger tube (screws to frame instead of being staked or cast with the frame). I also recommend highly getting a steel plunger tube instead of the plastic one. Some parts are not MILSPEC, but a little fitting can make them work. Your call on the finish, I had mine Parkerized because I had an in at the community college that I was near at the time, and they needed at least three guns to do a run. I gave them two, and could have a third, it cost me about $120 if I remember right. I used to use cold blue for the touch ups, but it never did match quite right.

Picked up my first 1911 last week, a slightly used Kimber Crimson Pro Carry 2

My Springer GI...

Nice Springer Armybrat!
I just replaced the front sight on my Springer "1990's Editon" (precursor to the current Mil-Spec model). For those that might not know, Springfield Armory uses a proprietary cut (and corresponding tenon) for their slides that have stake on front sights. I don't know if Springfield will sell you the part or if you have to send your slide in for them to do the install, but alternatively, Fusion sells a sight with a correct tenon for the SA cut. The sight is well made and required little fitting to install on my gun:

Regards,
Greg

At the range today

Wow that is beautiful! That's something that can't be done with a punch or checkering file. Where did the grips come from ?
Congratulations on your beautiful piece of work
John
You know I was going to do a cut and paste only your quote, but this pic needs to be seen again

That is a thing of beauty. I had to show my wife this and she said :32: You just got your first gun 6 weeks ago, your not buying a 4th one now!

Some beautiful pistols in this thread. Love those grips on Greg's Smitty. Here's my latest addition:

Compact and full size RIA Tacticals at top, US&S 1911a1 middle and Colt Commander and RIA at bottom.
