9mm?
An old S70 Colt I picked up on the EE a while back, more or less back to correct now with the exception of the Wilson sights and a flat msh. Oddball with a Service Model Ace .22 frame.
As it came to me. WW1 wood in pretty good shape.

An old shooter I pulled out of the safe, '43 Colt frame with Rand top end. Refinished by a previous owner with a set of grips I made. I've posted this pistola before but its been locked up for a long time and it had to get out.
Nice sweetheart grips there. Are those made of plexi glass?
How do you like the Super Scoop cut out for the mag release?
I just ordered a set with that feature.

You made those grips? Cool...
Nice grips deadman; is the strategically-placed bottom stock screw intentional? 
I've got a couple 1911s to share, starting with two chambered for 10mm. Classic Colt Delta Elite with interesting proof marks indicating it spent some time in Austria at some point. Also, a now-discontinued Dan Wesson Commander Classic Bobtail I was lucky enough to get for cheap from a CGN user a few years back. Even though the commander frame is not perfectly suited to the cartridge, the gun's a work of art. I love the all-steel construction, attention to detail and crazy-tight tolerances. It can easily handle even the hottest 10mm loads. Definitely one of my zombie guns.
And now three .45s. One is an officer size Kimber Compact CDP II. A bit plasticy for my tastes, but I guess light-weight is the point of a gun designed for CC, and it's a real spitfire on the range! Then, a S&W 1911, Doug Koenig edition. Shoots straight and eats every type of cartridge I've fed it, even those super-pointy 155gr cast SWC from the Bullet Barn. One of my favourite shooters. And then there's the 100th anniversary edition S&W 1911. Not too sure if I'm satisfied with the purchase or not. I dig the scrollwork but I'm not sure that's reason enough to keep it. In fact, I recently swapped out its trigger with the DK, 'cause the flat trigger was the only thing I didn't like about the DK...
