Lots of really nice 1911s in this thread. Here are a couple from my meager collection.

A Kimber Gold Combat RL

A Colt Stainless 38 Super, with some upgrades

A first issue Colt CCO

A Kimber Eclipse in 10MM and 357 Sig

And last but not least, a scratched up and customized Stainless Colt XSE in 45 ACP

Engraved guns are not really my thing.

I LOVE that engraved COLT.

What trigger is that on it by the way?

Who built that long slide? Quite an interesting way to lighten the slide. I don't think I've ever seen a long slide apart before.

Tom R and others, I'm not sure I would of done anything to your older 1911s? But, they are your pistols, finish isn't everything to me.

Hello 824tsv. It started out a 1950 38 super & I think Clark did the work in the 50s but his name is not on it. The barrel is a two piece silver soldered 38 super & shoots a .356 bullet. My Clark long slide on the left shoots a .357 bullet. The slide was maybe too heavy & they had to do some drilling to lighten up. The Clark doesn't have holes drilled in it. The long slide works best with 3.2 of Clays --3.2 American Select--or 3.1 of Bullseye to lock back on the last shot. Fun to shoot.. If you have the correct magazines for these 38 specials you better not loose them or get mixed up. Here are a couple more long slides.

The one on the right uses .356 bullets also. These are late 60s guns. They need to be sent back to Clark for a refinish but they work ok. 1-23 is John Browning's birthday.

You have a fantastic collection of vintage bullseye pistols! I never get tired looking at them! Thanks for sharing.

Well, mine are pretty plain, and aren't famous, or particularly old...but they are mine. Colts with Kuracs.

The Gov't Model does have good sights, excellent trigger and throated barrel. It feeds anything in a .45 case. I bought it that way, at the Ft. Worth gun show, in 1980.

Tom R; Thanks for the compliment about my engraved 1911. I believe the trigger is factory, but I'm not 100% sure. I bought the gun, pre-engraved, from a good friend. He had the checkering, sights, barrel, mag well, etc. installed before I got it. It was almost identical to the 38 Super pictured above it, before I got my mitts on it. Phil Quigley did the engraving, and did a wonderful job of it. It was done in celebration of my upcoming retirement.

The one that will be last to go is this "United States Property" marked 1911. 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. I carried it with me every where the Army would allow, and perhaps, maybe, a couple of places it didn't. It served me well. It was built to be a soldier's sidearm, and, even though both of us have long since been retired, it remains one.

How about a close-up of the BAR?

Don't want to hijack the thread.

This is not my rifle. It belongs to a friend. It is one awesome rifle that is unlike anything else in my collection. This 1911 is the perfect companion piece.

I took this picture of an original M1911 pistol as the frontispiece for my book 101 Classic Firearms. I think the M1911 is the most classic firearm of all time.
