Here's a glamor shot of my 1976 Series 70.

Thank you. I had fun doing that. I found my old Pachmayr grips in the top of the closet while digging around and had to include those. The price tag was still on the box. $10.50! Boy, those were the good old days.

Probably just me but I never get tired of looking at 1911's.

The man who supervises our school dist bus barn is stopping by my office today to show me his new Ruger SR1911 and his Gunsite Colt. I'm drooling already. I kind of hope I don't like it since he said the place he got it has another one. I want one really bad but I'm trying to act grown up ya know?

He's perfect example of how real warriors tend to stay very low profile. I've known him for a few years, not close or anything but work related. I found out a week ago he was a seal from 69-94. Sure glad I didn't piss him off.

He instructs sometimes at Gunsite too. I plan to be very polite.

I picked up a 2011 1911 to celebrate the designs 100th which also was my 50th anniversary of being trained on one at the Army MP school. After the Army career I drifted away from 1911s with a second career carrying SIGs. Thought I would shoot the DW and relegate it to the safe to bring out ever so often for show and tell. And then I shot it again, and again...and again. So, my two SIG P220s are in the safe and I ordered a Guardian for carry. They were just the way I wanted mine to end up, except I like black grips on a carry gun so I think I'll switch the grips when my Guardian gets here next week. One to shoot and shoot and one to shoot and carry. Here's my V-Bob.

Geeze.... don't let Melissa see that!

My 70-series commander with apparently pimp-pearl grips.

[Bawanna]

Pimp maybe, but beyond cool for sure. That's sweet.

Here's my Para GI Expert with the 45 slide mounted. Posted this in General with the 22 upper installed. The wood is cocobolo tiger stripe (this is laminated on a 45 degree angle giving the chevron look)

Any dark grey frames out there? I like the dark grey with black slide look.

That's pretty sweet! Now you know how they cock the hammer on a Glock in the movies. I've always wondered how they do that.

Greg, you are joking about that Essex frame/slide .45 (first pic) as being ugly right? That is one of the jokes within a joke..right? IMHO that .45 rocks. It looks like it is worn into someone's hand and utilitarian like a hammer. Outstanding.
