I've always been a sucker for two-tone 1911s.

 

[Telecaster]

Crazy accurate and a decent trigger.

You know, I never get tired of looking at 1911's !!!!!

How about an American made 80S 1911 never fired. About $185 new.

I’ve got to admit I do like .45acp’s. My first pistol was an old GI 1911 that my brother in law, (LE,) sold me at 17 yrs old. First cartridge I ever reloaded for. I learned lots and at that age it was very impressionable. To say the least.

I don’t have too many of my Colts in .45 anymore, but I still have a couple, plus some “off brand” ones too.

The SISTEMA COLT pistol was manufactured in Argentina under the COLT license and I have read that the COLT factory sent some of its technicians to supervise its production in Argentina.

These pistols together with the BALLESTER MOLINA are an example of a time when things were made to last, the proof is that today they continue to shoot and they do it well.

I have one.
It's a early production ( 4 digit serial number) made by Colt in USA.
Last I looked ( and iirc) she was made in 1927. She still shoots great!

Not new and shiny, but it has been true and faithful. I've posted this "United States Property" marked 1911 before. 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.

It was built to be a soldier's sidearm, and, even though both of us have long since been retired, it remains one.

The Combat Commander has taken over as the every day carry. After a hundred years, the old war horse has too much sentimental value to risk it sitting in an evidence locker while they try to figure out if some thug deserved the shooting he got.

Here's my last 1911 in 45ACP. It's an Ed Brown Custom that's about 20+ years old built on a frame by Les Baer before Ed started making his own.
The snakewood grips were added.

I enjoy these: Clark heavy long slide built on a Colt Series 70, S&W's 745, 845, and 945-1.

If you are interested in knowing something more about your weapon, send me the data, such as inscriptions on the slide and the serial number and I will try to inform you of some extra information such as the possible year of manufacture.

I like 45 ACP as well:

Some decent enough guns on this board, but few compare to this:

This my glock 45. This my problem solver.

The obligatory 1911 and a Sig P220 Equinox.

I wanted a Thomas soooo bad when I was a young man. Used to buy the Gun Digest every year and pick out everything I wanted. Always thought a suppressed Thomas would be a hoot.

They are high quality pistols, but not at all pleasant to shoot. The delayed blowback system is fairly ineffective and it’s almost like shooting a straight blowback 45.

The Korriphila also pictured has a great delayed blowback system and is much easier to shoot.
