Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Show Your 1911's

thread. Has there ever been one? Could somebody post a link if there was? If not, why not right here? Go for it boys. Not just 45's, but any caliber.

The family photo from my house ...



Clockwise from top left ...
- 5" Fusion 10mm
- 5" RIA .45
- 3.5" Alloy Springfield .45

They work

OK, I will start this party, since I have the nicest, best one

Colt Delta Elite 10mm, with With Wilson Combat parts installed inside and outm wherever they made an upgrade part for it. Latest was the flat, black anodized, checkered mainspring housing. Feels better in my meaty hand and I think it looks better as well.

Holster, which I also like a LOT, was made for me by our own Greg in Tennesee. This is, I think, my third holster from him and all have been first rate and very reasonably priced to say the least.







Fits my hand pretty well, although even this full length grip has my fingers a little squeezed. Probably helps with ocntrol to have a tight fit there, but I cannot use a shorter grip on a 1911 very well at all, no matter how easy it is to conceal. Did I mention that I REALLY LIKE my Delta elite?



Hope ya'll like it too, and lets indeed keep this thread going for a while. MARK

Stanimal! You beat me to the punch RE first post on the thread! You dirty rat, you.....

REALLY like that Fusion 10mm. A pretty serious shootin iron, that one. What ammo do youlike in it? I am still experimenting with 10mm ammo, carrying 175GR Silvertips in it for daily carry but have on hand some 200gr Hornaday's for backwoods carry.

TexnCal. Really nice 1911's there as well. And TWO 10mm's! That Colt Combat Delta Elite is DA BOMB! I am a pauper in comparison.... I am slowly upgrading my DE to Combat level of accoutrements as I can. I will ask you the same question, what 10mm ammo are you liking these days?

Have been wanting something new for concealed carry. My latest .45, a Kimber Ultra Carry II.

Here she is:

I have looked and looked but just cannot find any pictures of my one and only 1911. Don't know where I put them.

...some Supers....

Top gun is an 80s vintage Combat Commander. BoMar sights, 9mm and .38 Super BarSto barrels, front night sight...

Bottom gun is my daily carry piece...1952 Commander, MMC Tactical Adjustable Night Sights, BarSto barrel and total hard chome by Accurate Plating...





High polished stainless Colt Custom, fitted beavertail safety and Novak drop-in sights...





A pretty Combat Commander...El Potro (The Colt). One of the El series guns from Lew Horton...





The only Officers length slide .38 Super Colt ever made...El Capitan...with ivory grips....

Well, you slacker, when you manage to find one, put it up.

If my old brain would cough up where I put those pictures.

Thanks - your DE is no slouch either - sweet setup!

As to ammo: I also like the 175 Silvertips. In addition I run quite a bit of CCI 200 gr for fun, 180 lead handloads, and other 180 handloads with XTP / Speer bullets. It's not picky and I don't use it on targets large enough for that to matter a lot. I have quite a bit of Unique on hand so I've used it a good deal. A bit dirty, but functional.

I've posted these pics of mine several times.Was my grandfather's original Colt given to me which I carried in SEA...Yeah I know huge beaver tail but it keeps the blood transfusions down to a minimum !

Those stocks are sure different than normal. Gives it a European look. Nice story.

Well as you can tell it's all original except mag,trigger,barrel,beavertail,grips,accurized bushing and sights!

Very nice!

Super 38

Loaded Target

National Match

Pre-Series 70 Colt Government Model, early 1960s. My favorite 1911, because no bells and whistles. Just a great trigger, super reliable, and accurate.
