Pre series II's. Shot the top one a thousand with cast bullets & no cleaning, zero failures. I did the 30 LPI front strap on the top one, the skateboard tape is just as effective & my elbow thanked me for pushing the easy button.

I've got an even half-dozen right now, no pics, though.
Custom Shop Colt 1991A1, plain-looking, but loaded with neat stuff and a great trigger. .45 Ruger SR 1911T, .45 RIA 10mm 6" Ultra whatevertheycallit. RIA Standard Rock .45 Springfield Armory Range Officer 9mm (soon to be converted to .38 Super) Springfield Armory Garrison .45
All of them shoot reasonably well, even the RIAs, which are surprisingly good, and all of them are reliable with the old magazines I've had since forever, and whatever magazines they came with. I like them all, but the newest (the SA Garrison) has the nicest bluing you'd ever want on a production gun, it's a Loaded without the front slide serrations, basically, and it's trigger is tolerable as-is.
Over the years, I've gotten so I don't like a 1911 without a beavertail grip safety, and all of these have that item and the requisite hammers they require.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

1943 Property of the US Army Colt. Two mags of 230 gr. ball at 7 yards...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I think it's a thing in the US Military, because my M4 bayonet scabbard came with some on it, too. PS The other one is a French bayonet from the early Cold War period.
