1911 Photos anybody?

[WC145]

Here's a couple more that I recently acquired-

First run Colt CCO (1998)

Turnbull Remington UMC WW1 Commemorative

 

[CH4]

I have a few 1911s, but this Norinco is my only GI.

 

[Targets Guy]

 

[waffles]

yeah I have one

 

[Cyrano]

Not 1911s, but they're in 45 ACP. Two Shansei 45s; the one on the right is probably 1980s production, while the one on th left is original from the 1930s.

Here's one you don't see very often. Para Ordnance SF-45-A.

This is a special edition P-14 from 2009-10 that was offered ONLY to active duty U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan through group buys.
This is the sales brochure that was sent out.

As you can see, it was quite a package at an amazing price. They could be customized with special designs or inscriptions to suit the buyers.
Interested units would get together, decide on what, if any, special markings they wanted and place a group order while "in country". Later, after returning home, the guns were shipped to a local FFL for individual pick up.

The design on the left rear of the slide is the unit patch for the Tennessee 278th Armored Cavalry. My younger son ordered two while he was in Iraq. He gave me one of them. I'm proud of the boy and will never sell this.

First one's a pre-1911 Colt .45 automatic in the form of the Model 1905.

Don't see too many of those, have you ever fired it? I'm afraid to try mine, too hard to find parts for if I broke it!

And, nice collection. Your Rand looks pretty nice.

Hi Mexican Kerry;

The old Model 1905 came up from Mexico according to the previous owner who said her grandfather brought it with him when he came to Texas from Mexico.

I've fired about 200 rounds through it over the past 15 years that I've had it. It works really well with a 200 grain cast lead bullet over a middle-of-the road charge of Unique.

If it's in .45 ACP this is the one for me.

Just upgrade those sights to a set of illuminated Novak's get a good strong side holster & go get after it.

My favorite 1911 (of many).
In fact, I'll be shooting it in my club's service pistol match tomorrow:

 

[bananaman]

Just another 1911. I have a modest collection of 4. S&W wearing buffalo bone grips. I think they look quite cool. Bob

 

[Cocked & Locked]

 

[waffles]

Neat gun, but Im going to be selling it. I just can't love a 1911 without the WW2 look.

 

[BARgunner]

A few more. All of which I shoot on occasion.

A 1918 example of a Model of 1911 U.S. ARMY.

[DevilDog72]

Wow... I can't believe I just found this thread. My first experience... and love of handguns were Colt 1911's. I have had a few over the years and regret selling every one of them.
That said, I have a couple of 1911 platforms to share.

[Bob L]

Can you tell me who made the holster with the sight cover? It is the second picture containing a holster. Beautiful looking outfit. Thanks!

 

[DevilDog72]

Bob,
I have a Viking Mdl 55 that is like Cocked and Locked....

 

[Spartan 2]

My Stainless Commander

 

[Bob L]

Thanks DevilDog72. I will have to look at them. Sharp looking holster.

 

[Cocked & Locked]

Bob L...that was made by Hunter. The back is stamped with the word "Hunter" inside a powder horn and is a #55 M.

With DevilDog72's holster also being stamped with 55 these must have been a common design in their day.
