.38 Super
Over the last 35 years I`ve accumulated quite a collection of 1911s. Everything from mild to wild.
Series 70 Colt Gold Cup
A pair of Colt Delta Elites. One factory, and one racer
An Officer`s ACP Lightweight
A Colt Double Eagle 10mm (not strictly a 1911, but a close relation)
A pair of Colt Commanders. Both in 38 Super. A series 70 and a 1950s era Lightweight that has been done over in nickel and gold plate with silver grips.
Here is a 1911 frankenstein. Auto Ordnance frame, Colt slide, Wilson and Clark guts, in .38 Super.
A Chiappa 1911-22 (not a real 1911, but has the look and feel of one)
Springfield V-16 Longslide .45 Super
Springfield Omega 10mm
Irwindale (AMT) Javelina 10mm
A Taurus PT1911AR .45 that I`ve been having some fun with in another thread
Para Ordnance P14 Limited
Another frankenstein. Para wide body frame, Colt top end. 45acp
This one is a real conglomeration. Para P16 frame, Colt .38 super slide, guts from who knows where, and the whole mess converted to 10mm

No label on this photo. It's a Rock Island 38 Super with scrimshawed ivory stocks.

I have a weakness for ivory. The Dolt stocks are fake but there is a genuine diamond inset in the right side beneath the scrimshawed wyvern.

I think this is all of them
the MCOperator is the same as the first pic, with original colors. I cant leave well enough alone. Kick myself for selling the CCO. I needed money for another purchase. should have robbed my savings for that purchase.

A 1917 vintage commercial Colt 1911. It was Grampa's, then Dad's, now mine. Grampa and Dad shot competitive Bullseye with it and there is no telling how many thousands of rounds have been down the pipe. I remember the very first time I was allowed to shoot it. Grampa drove us down a dirt road on the outskirts of Raymond, NH and we put some old cans up on a wooden fence. Grampa had it stoked with his competition loads, an H&G #130 over some tiny charge of Hercules Bullseye. Real softball loads they were, but I was 8 years old and had only shot .22's up to that point. Old slab sides made quite an impression on this kid.
Grampa was the one that soldered on the Patridge front and bobbed the hammer. No doubt killed any collector value, but no matter... It's priceless to me. I have a lot of handguns that I shoot more, but they are just things. This gun is my heritage.

Just recently added this '92 Colt Gold Cup. It was worked over by Clark's Custom Guns in '93. It's seen plenty of use but you still need a bushing wrench to disassemble it and it is stupidly accurate. It's going back to Clark's this week to be tuned up and refinished back to the condition it was in when it left the shop in 1993. They say it'll take about 3 months, I'll post pics and a range report when I get it back. It should be a blast to shoot, they guarantee 2.5" 10 shot groups at 50 yards!!
