I used the search function to find some 1911 pic fun... to no avail.
So... why not start a new thread... 1911...

This is my Coonan “.357 Magnum Automatic”

Some may think this doesn’t qualify and I don’t mind.

1911 pics

Springfield Range Officer Elite Compact 9mm / Reeder Custom series 80 / 1947 Colt Commercial with Ahrends grips out of American Wormy Chestnut wood I supplied to match my knife handle / Springfield Armory Trophy Match - early one built by custom shop supposedly.

Here's my favorite, a 9MM caliber Springfield Armory "Range Officer". Easily the most accurate pistol I own:

We get these threads every so often. But ya just gotta love the 1911.

My usual disclaimer: this is and old picture. I've added more since then.

I'm here to support the "house brand". Then a pic of a couple of Colts to appease the unwashed masses. SW1911 Pro Series 178017 9mm wearing Culina Walnut. Colt Competition Enhanced .38 Super, and custom Commander, electroless nickel .45.

Nice to show off John Browning’s art work.

I'm down to three, this is my latest, a Combat Commander 9mm purchased in 2017. It worked great, but there was enough looseness in the rear frame to slide fit and particularly the grip safety that I sounded like the Tin Man walking around.

So I sent it to Nighthawk Custom and had the frame to slide fit tightened, and one of their grip safeties installed. I also had them refinish it in their smoked nitride; some people consider it to be a "distressed" finish, but I don't - whether clothes, furniture, or guns, to me that means more signs of wear in certain places. NH's smoked nitride is an even, smooth, steel-gray. Some people don't care for it, that's okay by me, to each their own. It shoots even better now. I have a Wilson Combat CQB Commander also in 9mm; it's fitted better, and is more accurate. Given the price difference, that's as it should be. My hands prefer the Colt though.

It's funny, in the original polished blue I didn't care for the factory grips, and had a beautiful set of grips from Wood Caliber on them. After getting it back they didn't look right, to me, so I put the originals back on.

Just a couple. The wife's Kimber and my R-R 1944 model.
