DE1911 is outstanding!

This going to be next gun I get....I have a BEII 40 s&w LOVING IT! and I just shot the DE 1911 a few days ago.....I want one so bad! I also shot a Kimber, and a Spring Field 1911, the DE was the most accurate by far, with the springfield being next. Im sorry out the 5 Kimbers I have shot, I think they are way overrated. I'm going to my local gun store next week to put a DE 1911 G on layaway. I can't wait!

Been gone awhile so thought I would check back in. Still have the DE1911 but traded the Remington for a Ruger SR1911. The DE1911 and the SR1911 are a great team. Happy, happy, happy.

Colonel, that is one nice M1 you have there. I have a P-17 Enfield that is my only piece of American war history. It's a Remington, picked it up at a ridiculously low price. Seen them at the gun shows lately selling for nearly 7 times what I paid for it.

The 17 is a great rifle. My dad and my grandfather bought surplus models when I was a kid. Don't know what they paid but I'm sure it was less than 50 bucks.

My grandfather modified his, cut the stock down, shortened the barrel etc. Only rifle he ever hunted with that I ever saw. When I came of age after a thutty thutty for a few years he gave it to me and it's the only rifle I ever hunted with too.

My dad cut his stock down but thankfully didn't modify anything on the metal. Just prior to his passing I found a pretty rough original military stock and put it back the way it was born. I wanted to get his picture holding it but alas I wasn't quite fast enough and it didn't happen.

Dad's was an Eddystone and my grandfathers was a Winchester, I might have that backwards but I think I got it right.
