I'll add these three to the mix.

Here are the two I own.

A Kimber and a first year Browning 1911/22. I like the size comparison between the two.

Man. I'm almost ashamed to show up with this one, but I just got it yesterday, and it's my first 1911 in a long time.

Rock Island Armory 1911-A1 FS, in 9mm. I got it used, so I assume it's stock out of the box. I had sorta, kinda wanted another 1911 (I had a Colt Government Model back in my IPSC days), but didn't want to start reloading for another cartridge. Since I was already set up for 9mm, it was a natural.





Hope to get it to the range today, work permitting.

I just have this Kimber Custom II, about 3200 thru it now. Great pistol.

I've got a few but I'm not much of a photographer. This was a pic recently when I dug out a bunch. The highlights are: 1929 Super .38, British .455, engraved presentation grade with ivory, a few M1911A1's, an early Delta, a few M1911's/Gov't Models from WW1, etc.

There's a few of them in here along with some other .45 U.S. military handguns. Most were purchased back in the '60s and '70s when they were more common. I could not afford most of these today. This is one of the pics I took for my article on U.S. .45 handguns in the 2003 Gun Digest.

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.

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.
