not as many bells and whistles....WC CQB.....

Very nice!

True. But it doesn't have anything to do with this thread.

My one and only 1911. Springfield Armory Loaded. Added a Smith & Alexander arched mainspring housing/magwell and factory magwell cut grips.

The relief cut under the trigger guard is different.

I haven't had too many 1911s, but the Colt Government I had I gave to my son. I bought a Kimber Pro CDP II that I tried hard to love, but found that whenever I fired it, the beaver tail dug into my thumb knuckle. After a few mags, my thumb was done.

I didn't want to give up on the 1911, so I was determined to someday find one that fit my hand better. Saturday was that "someday."

I wasn't looking to buy, but I happened to spy the most beautiful 1911 I'd ever seen in the store the other day. To make it irresistible, Sig is running a promotion right now where, if you buy one of their 1911s, you can buy one of their .22LR 1911s for only $99! I couldn't say no.

Meet my new mistress, "Shannon" (I named her after Shannon Bream, because when I first saw this pistol, I let out the same audible sigh that I do whenever Shannon Bream comes on TV.)

... and her baby brother:

I staged it with some vintage .45 ACP cartridges for fun. He's a decent, fun plinker, but that's about it.

Uhh…did it come in that color with those grips? That is so sexy.

Thanks. Thinking about sending it off to SA and having the custom shop checker the front strap and undercut the trigger guard.

I bought this a few weeks ago. Easily my favorite

I can't believe it has been a week since anyone had a new 1911 they wanted to show off. I'll break the drought and show my newest acquisition. It's a Colt Combat Elite that is quickly moving to the top of my favorites list.

Nice Colt! I only post every 5th one I buy. JetGirl and Churchmouse get a bit snippy when someone has more 1911's than they do.

This old world would be a much better place to live if there were more considerate people such as yourself in it.

Nothing new and shiny, but churchmouse and I had a fun 1911 day...

 

[cmamath13]

Looks like a STELLAR day! 1911s shooting 45 ACP, doesn't get much better than that! I think I see a 22 as well.

Yep. (5) 45's (1) 22

Outstanding! I bet it was nice getting outside to shoot. Been a long winter.

That bi-tone Colt intrigues me! It looks like it's having way to much fun down there!!

What kind of mount is that for the reflex/red dot on top of the GSG? Looking for a different option for my reflex...

This is "New to Me" Delta Elite that was bone stock when I picked it up at the last 1500. I installed a 10-8 rear sight and replaced all Cast and polymer parts with Wilson Combat Bulletproof Parts. I don't know if it is worth what I have in it, but I'm Liking it.
