1911's Pics Thread

HOT! day at work today, now drinking a beer and farting around with my camera:

Reparked Colt/Rand I just got last week from a famous gunnut.


Nice Zippo...but more importantly, where does one find Lucky Strikes these days? :D
 
Wow you have so many of them!!! Now, you wouldn't be by any chance... trying to get rid of aka "donate" one of 1911's? ;) hahah

seriously, nice gun :) Very classic lines.

What kind of beavertail safety is that on the gun second from the right in the row there?

I'll have to do a group photo when I get the other two back from refinishing. By the way, one in the picture is a fake. Depends on what you mean by "donate." I could say I'll give you one if you pay the shipping, but shipping would be around $550-600;).

Not sure what make the beavertail is on the S.A., hammer, trigger, msh, and beavertail installed by previous owner (someone here on cgn), at least they chose a drop-in and left the frame alone.

Don't care for it myself, but haven't figured out a combination of spare parts that works to replace it yet. I really don't like how it interferes with access to the hammer. Awkward.
 
I wondered where that one ^^ ended up!
Good catch - wish I had that kind of disposable income and it would be in my safe, not yours!!

I had to sell off a couple treasures first, in order to buy it. I've been a bit buy-happy lately, but there has been a steady rotation out of the collection at the same time.

Oh that's true, I can see how it would be annoying to manually decock or #### the hammer with that giantic blade of a safety in the way. Looks kind of different, at least!

Hmmm that's quite a steep shipping rate! Is that using Deadman Courier express? ;) haha
