Hi guys. Time to show off your 1911's. Here are my 2 favorites. The Baer has a new set of skins which fit my hand much better. The Ed Brown is just a dandy to shoot. Let see what you guys shoot.

I liked it, it shot well. It was pretty close in accuracy to the supermatch, but the supermatch actually had some problems and had to go back to kimber. They made it right and quickly. A buddy of mine just had to have it so it went down the road. The raptor helped fund the Brown. Out of the few kimbers I have owned or shot, the raptor was one of the best.

Here is a nighthawk I had for a while on loan. It was pretty nice, but I like the Les and the Ed better.

Damn you! A raptor, and 47d mags... Is there a better combo?!


When I was in college, and about to turn 21 I strolled through the local gun store (lets just say we were on first name basis, and I was welcome behind the counter at anytime)... I saw the Raptor in the case shortly before my 21 birthday and my goal as to buy that as my present to myself based on my birthday money, extra paycheck money etc... Well, it being college... That never happened and I have wanted one ever since!

Gun is in mint condition with factory papers , box, and ballistics, its never been to a range, shot maybe five times; 50 to70 rounds if that, two factory clips, two wilson combat clips, factory skeletonized trigger and hammer , factory stainless steel match grade barrel, in the books it says to many upgrades to list, date of shipping 1-12-07, gun remains as new no scratchs or holster wear. im asking 900.00 or trade?

What do ya all think.
