1911's Pics Thread

The Gold Cups are awsome.

Dad and I got into a fight about who got to buy one. He saw it first and spent 20 huming and hawing about it. Then he thought he'd save me the money and buy it himself.

Then it got stolen, years later........

My dad and I have argued about them too. Although we usually try to keep an eye out for what the other is looking for. Usually .

NAA quote Well, it's not a Colt and despite not being a huge fan of stainless 1911's, I took the plunge and just added this to my stable.... a spankin' new Ruger SR1911:

Very nice SR 1911. I recently acquired one from Roger at SC AB.

Also posting a pic of my PT1911 SS. This is one fine piece of work and a great shooter. Intentionally smugded out serial number.
