Here are a few of mine. First, a Springfield Mil-spec in .45 ACP.
A Ruger 1911 in .45 ACP.
A Colt 1911 in .45 ACP.
And finally, a Springfield 1911 in 9mm.

Hard Chrome Les Baer UTC, now lives with my younger son
My old Les Baer Thunder Ranch, sold after 35k rounds +/- to a friend that still has it
A custom build by a former Green Beret Sgt. Major in the style he used, bought new by late member IBSandy and gifted to me by his widow in 2012-never to go outside my family. This one outshoots every other 1911 I've owned since 1978, that includes Wilson and Novak builds as well as my Baers.
Colt Gunsite
Dan Wesson A2 Commander with some improvements
Les Baer Thunder Ranch Comanche I bought my older son for his welcome home gift from his first deployment in 2006
I've got a thing for Les Baer's 1911s LOL, need to take a pic of my Custom Carry, stand by

Yes and other calibers, too. Anything JMB has had a hand in designing, I'm for it.
My 1911's and a couple of JMB's other contributions to handgunning, all in different calibers. The 1911 full size are top to bottom, RIA .38 Super; Ruger SR1911 10mm, SA ,45 Auto. On the right are SA EMP4 9mm, BHP MkIII .40S&W, Colt 1903 .32 Auto.

Okay....
My latest, a 1918 Colt Black Army 1911,
And a "1943" 1911a1 Custom Shop reproduction.
And, a Harrison tuned Combat Commander,
And a Colt 1991 Model O in factory bright stainless steel.
There are a couple of other Colt's but
I really need to dig them all out for a group shot.

I cut my teeth on 1911s at the age of 14 - now at 83, I've acquired a few.
These are my GI guns, interspersed with some service .45 revolvers and such.
And these are my personal favorites.

Here are a few of mine. My stepfather had been on a pistol team while stationed in Germany, so he started me on the 1911's when I was about 10 years old. I am especially fond of the Super 38 Commanders.

The AMT Hardballer typically has a well-earned reputation of being shoddy but most evidence suggests that AMT did better with the Hardballer Long Slide. This one in the picture is the first semiauto that I ever bought, I was 17, so Mom had to buy it. I’ve still got this one.
I picked up another a bunch of years ago and it was in higher condition. I took it out on one range trip and sent a box of ammo through it and then cleaned it and sat on it for a few years. When I finally offered it up on Gunbroker, someone really liked it (apparently two different guys really liked it…) and he paid $STUPID money for it.
Most of what you hear about AMT is probably correct, but these are interesting and enjoyable pistols.

Just have two. An all original WWII 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 and a reproduction 1942 Colt 1911a1 made by Colt Custom Shop in 2002 (you don't see many of these as they only made about 2,500). I was lucky to get it in 2008 off an online auction. This one is a WMK prefix serial number. Shown with my commercial S&W 1917. Second picture is the Colt reproduction in it's original box. I shoot it more often than the Ithaca which only comes out about once a year.
