Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sitting here with a 1911,..

I currently own three stainless 1911's......a Remington R1, Springfield Armory Mil Spec and a Ruger SR1911.

I rotate shooting them and run a hundred rounds through one or the other each outdoor range session which is at least once and sometimes twice a week......after working up a pet load I don't much care for shooting paper so all my shooting is done at the 25 yd. 10", 8" and 6" steel gongs with my loaded 230gr. FMJ ball ammo.

I own a few revolvers but for some reason I shoot a 1911 considerably better than my revolvers.

My “chair pistols” are Sig 1911 45’s or CZ 75 in 40 S&W

Did Sheriff Woody upgrade?

you may be able to tune your pistol to eject sooner and lower to prevent you getting dinged in the forehead. The lowering of the ejection port and flaring back helps and varying the length of the ejector and even different shapes on the end of the ejector can change the path of ejection pattern.

Can't say how much I've cared for a 1911. I caught myself with 12 of them once & sold 8 of them. If I really cared, they wouldn't have been sold. Struggling since then, I've only bought 4 to replace the 8 I sold.
I must not care.

I do the same with a 1911, an N-Frame Smith, a Mauser and M1903 Colts. I Have a 2 1/2" Security Six at the moment. My wife is fine with it. Ed being Ed...

This one is currently a favorite...it wins matches for me on a regular basis. Accurized by Justin McMillan, former AMU armorer.

That's a nice Match pistol.

Nice pistola" amigo !

That Pearl brewery in San Antone was just down the street from Ft. Sam. I went there for a couple of unit parties. It was a nice place and I still like Pearl when I can get it. They had a Pearl Gold for a number of years. It was one of my favorites.

kwg

I do the same with my hi-point 380 acp.

Holy crap! You must be related to Andre the Giant!

They had a big sign in Oklahoma, just before you crossed the Red, "Pearl, from the land of 10 million springs," or whatever, with a waterfall. I remember it before I could drive and it would look dang good after a long drive with no a/c in the olden tymes. So Pearl was my favorite before I was old enough to legally drink it. Later, working in Dallas, I spied one down there too. Don't know how many of them signs they had. Makes me thirsty just thinking about it and the only beer I've got on the place is some Rolling Rock that's probably outdated.

Make sure it doesn't happen again! lol

Any time you make a mistake around here, there will always be some smartass just faunching at the bit to correct you.

At last count 54 of the damn things.

I hate 'em.

Dude...you win.

I have a Remington Commander I won in whelenman’s club’s raffle back in ‘14 if I recall correctly. I carry it regularly.

Insane to me the progress that’s been made over the last 30 or so years (in the time I’ve been paying attention) to what you can get for yer money these days. The “custom features” on a $700 1911 today were only available on the best pistols out there not so long ago. We’re living in the good ole days in that sense.

Shot through a very nice steel course last Thursday. Those pistols are genuine pleasures to shoot. My client had a SS Springfield Armory full size that was a honey as well.

Tell ya what... the difference between that 1911 & my S&W Bodyguard .380 which is my EDC (in my pocket now) is like that between a .22 hornet & a .30-06 when it comes to laying down the steel!

As a kid in JH & HS when other guys had pics of Heather Locklear or some slut from 90210 on their wall I had a Colt 1911 Delta Elite 10mm on mine. Still lust after her in my dreams...

Hunts..., tell us the story on that little 1911 replica.
