1911 pics?

[MW surveyor]

Here's my new one (and only 1911). Para Ord GI Expert in stainless.

Here's my one and only. A Springfield Armory I bought back in the 90's. Only mods are a Bill Wilson full size guide rod and a group gripper. Not a real beauty queen but is accurate and reliable. Next mod is to add some decent sights. It still has those military type sights that I have trouble seeing nowadays.

Nice pistol, nice shooting John!

O'Dell,
Looks like the Springer turned out to be sort of a bookend match of your SIG Nice collection.

MW surveyor and themanski,
That's some good looking stainless steel

Regards,
Greg

Thanks Greg!

1991-remember these?, Combat Comm, Combat Elite, SS and blue Gold Cups.
Sadly, I had to sell these...long story.

[kahrdriver]

a few more....
I also had to sell these but have since replaced the Stainless Series 70. Notice the differences in the rear sight for this early XSE. It also did not have the ambi safety like the newer ones.

a couple of mine...

Kimber Pro Carry II



and my Rock

[VietVet68]

OK, this first one is a Fusion Elite Series Commander, Bobtailed frame in .45

Next, A Dan Wesson VBOB. I bought the SS model but then sent it to Dave Severns for his Hard Hat treatment. It's the same as the Ion Bond finish on the Fusions slide.

Lastly are two Kimbers, A "Pro Crimson Carry" and a "Ultra CDP with C.T. laser grips."


I should mention that I carry all them in MS VMII holsters.

Sweet! Nice pile of 1911's and an equally nice pile of leather.

I love bobtails too.

My new 'Rock', bone stock with 200 flawless rounds so far.

Where oh where did you get that EGA plug? I'll put two to use right now. Hard to see in the picture, did you have some custom engraving done?

Some 1911 pics - most shown before.....


Thats my stainless Officer's ACP. Colt slide and most parts, Caspian receiver, Storm Lake/Sig barrel. This one now has some light colored wood, medium thick double diamond grips. Also... Brownells sells those hammers, and if they're all like the one I got, they're great. Well heat treated, and well finished. Works well with the EGW "Hard Sear".


Remington Rand slide, Caspian receiver, Sig barrel, most parts Colt. This pistol has one of the nicest slide/frame fits I've ever accomplished. It just all worked out well, minor lapping and presto... like riding on bearings.


Commander built with Viking slide (which is weird, only fits Viking frames unless you modify it), Storm Lake/Sig barrel, and Caspian frame (modified). Like the others, most parts Colt. All the parts except the receiver were used together on another pistol, whose receiver cracked. I don't think this one will, and the frame modification - rail shortening - wasn't where the other one cracked. Shoots nice.


I do not like beavertails. I much prefer to cut, file, grind and otherwise whittle the metal as I see fit.

The grip safeties have been swapped between those two guns. The smaller svelt one is now on the Officer's ACP, and the shortened more traditional "1911" one is on the Commander.


PM45 on top of the Commander, for comparison.


Family picture also showing the Springfield "COMPACT .45", and the PM45.


And... the Tactical Solutions .22 conversion, which is basically a "one hole gun". Almost finished. I'm waiting on alternate mainsprings, which largely are the recoil spring in this design. It needs a lighter spring to lock back with Eley's light target loads. Trigger on this one is "illegal" 2lbs even. I'll put a Clark "mainspring housing adjustment" screw in should I ever decide to go back to bullseye shooting.
