All nice pistols! Here's a Melonited Miller Custom with matching Marvel 22 conversion: Old Jason Burton custom top and newer Burton gun bottom: Ed Brown Ltwt top and Older Wilson custom Ltwt Officer's bottom: Early Kimber top and Baer bottom: Series 70 reissue top and Series 80 Stainless bottom. The Series 80 is LNIB and matches the first handgun I ever bought when I was in college. I foolishly sold that one and recently found this one to replace it.

Someday I would love to get together with you and put some lead down range!

And I'm a huge fan of hard chrome. The reissue Series 70 is in line for 2013 for a full-house custom job with this local guy http://www.reidpistolsmithing.com

Nothing fancy about mine, a stainless Kimber Compact, circa 2000. The Kimber on top was a graduation present for Daughter #3 when she graduated law school at Iowa. Has the laser grip. The other, of course are not 1911's at all. One is the gun I carry in the car daily, a Browning BDM 9mm. The Walther .380 PPK/S gets carried on my person more than any other and is in my pocket as I write, a time zone and then some away from home.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Mine is a step down from the others, and it rides on the dash year round so it's a little scratched up, but never a hiccup.

I will add the CT grips were a waste of money.

The gun on the left is a Les Baer Custom Carry - the pistol on the right is a Colt that was lightly customized by Ed Brown from the early 80's when he was a one-bench pistolsmith.
