1911's Pics Thread

1927 model Argentinian Airforce colt. Barrel and grips aren't original but the rest is in great shape

Its too bad somebody highlighted all the script on that one. Looks nice though.

I can't tell if it's some kind of gold inlay, or just a gold paint stick. Don't really want to go scraping it to find out

My Taurus PT1911. Also my first gun.
polished all controls + chamber part of the barrel myself. Planning on installing a S&A arched mainspring housing/magwell + maybe get some white pearl grips for when i feel pulp fiction-ish.

I bet that a jeweler would tell you.

Just be careful about how you present the pistol when you pull it out in a jewelry store

"No... officer, honestly, I just wanted to know if it was a gold inlay or not."

That will be funny.

Just thought I'd bring this back to the top with another less-than-professional picture.

My goodness, that is a grand collection of 1911s you have there.

I am a hardcore Glockster but open minded. My first try entering the 1911 arena. I bought an RIA Tactical recently......

Deadman that is one sweet collection sitting on the shelf like that!! I'm jealous, haha.

You should post some of the Colt and RR images in here!

Sir, your addiction had gone beyond MAXIMUM level. I'll be more than willing to help you recover from such illness..........

Deadman - Loved the pic. Nice to see someone else with the 1911 sickness real bad....

NAA.

I think I have already. Oh what the heck, I'm an attention hound. These are my first two to actually come to me correct and original. Everything else I own is either a mixmaster, hacked up, or pieced together by me (may not be original, but at least correct)

The Colt:

The Rand:

Here's my modest few 1911's, and yes I know one is missing the front sight.

Its so bad, its spreading to other areas. Just bought a military Colt 1902 today.

Gooood.....gooood

muahahaa. And now you will need a 1903 Pocket Hammer to go with that 1902....

 

[deadman]

I would rather get a nice example of an early commercial pistol. Say, a first shipment Canadian contract. Would anybody here have one they would part with?

But a 1903 would be nice too. Don't know much about them. Prohib or restricted? Can't have the little things, I applied for my license after they realized people couldn't be trusted.
