Colt's Govt. Model with Colt's ,22 conversion:

A few that go to the range together pretty often.
Best shooter (for me) is the Sig Ultra Compact.

These pistols together with the BALLESTER MOLINA are an example of a time when things were made to last, the proof is that today they continue to shoot and they do it well.

This is a Custom Comp from Colt's Custom Shop circa 1979. The grips are ivory which were added.

Here's mine. I have two Colts, both have been customized
A series 80 Colt Gold Cup. By this time the Gold Cup was nothing special, just a GM with adjustable sights and a wide trigger. BUT, a friend had this built up by Jack Best into a fully accurized Bullseye gun, then decided it was Wilson or nothing for him. Kart bbl & bushing, fitted slide and frame. I put the beavertail on myself, and that is an old Behlert drop in hammer and sear set. I have the Ransom Rest test target (that's NOT it in the pic), the gun shoots far better than I could ever shoot it
He sort of took me along with him. Here is my Wilson Super Grade comp gun. This was from back in the day when you actually sent a gun to Wilson, and Bill himself and about half a dozen other guys worked their magic. And you waited. And waited. Basically they did the top end and frame checkering. Again I did beavertail, and that one has McCormick titanium fire control parts, plus I did the ambi safety. It was my bowling pin gun from back when we used to shoot pins

I’ve got to admit I do like .45acp’s. My first pistol was an old GI 1911 that my brother in law, (LE,) sold me at 17 yrs old.  First cartridge I ever reloaded for. I learned lots and at that age it was very impressionable. To say the least.
I don’t have too many of my Colts in .45 anymore, but I still have a couple, plus some “off brand” ones too.

I have one.
It's a early production ( 4 digit serial number) made by Colt in USA.
Last I looked ( and iirc) she was made in 1927. She still shoots great!

Not new and shiny, but it has been true and faithful. I've posted this "United States Property" marked 1911 before. It came to me through DCM sales in 1961. An uncle gave me the old wood grips to replace the plastic ones Rock Island put on it when they rebuilt/refinished it.
It was built to be a soldier's sidearm, and, even though both of us have long since been retired, it remains one.
The Combat Commander has taken over as the every day carry. After a hundred years, the old war horse has too much sentimental value to risk it sitting in an evidence locker while they try to figure out if some thug deserved the shooting he got.

Here's my last 1911 in 45ACP. It's an Ed Brown Custom that's about 20+ years old built on a frame by Les Baer before Ed started making his own.
The snakewood grips were added.

If you are interested in knowing something more about your weapon, send me the data, such as inscriptions on the slide and the serial number and I will try to inform you of some extra information such as the possible year of manufacture.

Some decent enough guns on this board, but few compare to this:
This my glock 45. This my problem solver.

I wanted a Thomas soooo bad when I was a young man. Used to buy the Gun Digest every year and pick out everything I wanted. Always thought a suppressed Thomas would be a hoot.

They are high quality pistols, but not at all pleasant to shoot. The delayed blowback system is fairly ineffective and it’s almost like shooting a straight blowback 45.
The Korriphila also pictured has a great delayed blowback system and is much easier to shoot.

My 45s, not 1911 to be seen. 
The group for size comparison.
Star Megastar in Starvel. Nearly 3 lbs of steel. A semi for Yosemite Sam, even Bill Ruger would call it overbuilt. Fewer than 5500 made, some were blued and IIRC less than 1000 were also made in 10 mm.
Sarsilmaz SARK2 45. A Turkish take on the CZ 97. Takes 14 round mags.  The black paint finish is a bit delicate, sadly.
XD Tactical. These were available at fire sale prices at CDNN for months. Eventually I caved.

Some beautiful .45ACP 1911's here. I've had three. Down to two now as I sold my first one to buy a 9mm 1911.
Ruger SR1911
Ruger 1911 CMD A
Rock Island M1911-A1 CS
and the SR1911 9mm

All I've got are old "hero" 45's (1 left in the safe)
No two-tones, no stainless, no match grade anything, sights hardly worth a hoot, no fancy grips, all are (were) correct and original. Colt, Remington-Rand, Sistema Argentine all gone to other collectors. Lonely Ithaca remains...
No trophy winners here...…….just old hero guns.....would love to have heard their stories from those that carried them wherever, and whenever.
Love(d) them all.
Sorry for the crummy pics, but these old warhorses are camera shy and prefer no lighting....they don't want to expose their scars and warts.
