9/1. How's about making it "Carry a 1911 day" in memory of Churchmouse?

[bobzilla]

For Tim.

 

[DocIndy]

These two CM pieces will be making noise today in Tim’s honor. Nothing says ChurchMouse more than a comped 1911 in 45 ACP.

 

[bcannon]

Done and done.
One question.......would it have mattered to Da' Mouse whether it's a 9mm or a .45?

I suppose I could carry both......as long as I'm not going anywhere near deep water!

If you knew the mouse, you know he was never a 9mm 1911 advocate except for CKW.

Going to have to put the suspenders on today.. his 10mm isn't light.

This usually resides in the lockup but seems fitting to break it out in honor of the Mouse.. I've been shooting the Platypus enough lately that I'm confident I can manage the thumb safety if necessary.

Will be running these 2 today. Top one is CM’s last build. The bottom one is a Springfield Range Officer that was a CM makeover in 9mm. He told me that the 9mm was fun to run but don’t tell anyone. He said it would ruin his reputation….

Swapped out the adjustable sights for Trijicon HD's but my custom Springfield Operator. Hand cut 25LPI checkering, ed brown magazine well, cylinder and slide internals. The Mouse approved of this pistol. The last year of INGO has been different

 

[DadSmith]

My Ronin 45 in my @freekforge holster.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Same one today.

 

[bobzilla]

Man it is awfully dusty in here today

[ghuns]

To the Mouse...

This is my 1911. There are many like it, but this one is mine...

 

[mom45]

He did love his Springfields. I'm carrying my first pistol today.

 

[d.kaufman]

Miss ya Tim!

 

[indyblue]

I will be wearing my TRP in the Milt Sparks

My daily carry since 2017 until earlier this year when I started tucking an LCP II in my pocket about 3/4 of the time. It just got too hot for suspenders and a cover garment.

This is built from an RIA, but the only things retained were the slide, barrel and frame. The internals are all forged, which is a requirement I have for carry.

The concept is that it's gonna get beat up being carried, so it needs to be pretty plain and utilitarian, but it also needs to function safely and efficiently, and the internals need to take a mirror polish. I've never been able to get MIM to polish up as well as a good forged part.

Therefore, we have a full complement of EGW, Colt, Brown, and Wilson parts inside the pistol, selected for their specific roles because I'm friggin picky.

Before this one, I built and carried another RIA. IT served flawlessly, as well.

The holster is modified because it seems nobody makes the holster I want. It's a modified Bianchi, if I recall.

In for lunch.
Packin my old workhorse in my aviator, same belt, same hat. Got a box of 45 on the seat of the feed cart, gonna blow‘em up before I come in this eve. For CM.

 

[cavemike]

Don't have a picture of it , but i have carried my Kimber 1911 daily since 2013

I’m very glad everyone took this assignment seriously. Makes me smile knowing Tim would be proud of us a little. Not you 9mm guys but the rest.
