1911's Pics Thread

[NAA]

I don't know why Browning made their 1911 .22 a scaled down version. Just not as desirable in my books. I may have to get me a stainless SR1911 though.

+1 - agreed. Wish they'd come out with a full size 1911A-1 in .22 lr or even a 100 yr anniversary model in good ole .45ACP.

Meanwhile... back to the 1911 pics....

My latest 1911A1 just came in the mail today - Thanks to the nice post lady who came to the door this am....

Got an adjustable aluminum trigger to go in it & maybe dress her up with some double diamond pepper laminate stocks & new grip screws.

Hope to give her a test drive in the next few days, too. Our balmy +7C daytime temps should hold out for the next few days for a trip to the range.

My new grips just arrived. Yes, I know it's not a Springfield, and no, I'm not trying to make a replica of a Springfield, I just liked the design of the grip and the wood grain.

They were on sale for $25. $10 for shipping to my door from Springfield Armories.

I think those grips dress up that 1911A1 very nicely!

I'm absolutely in love. It shoots like a dream! I never thought I'd be able to like a blued gun so much but the finish on this thing makes me want to lick it. Actually, I shouldn't put it that way because it implies that I haven't...

Love the blued Colt SCG!!
Seems when they do come available (rarely), it's always the two tone version.
Did you have to import that?

Thanks! No IRG had one pop up and then he even put it on sale, the vial temptress, so I couldn't resist.

Thanks! I was sort of expecting to get stoned to death for putting Springfield grips on a Norc 

My work in progress.

Thejuggernaut, those grips are indeed sweet.

They feel pretty comfy, at least for my hands.

A glimpse of the past...last week, I have received this second Colt WW2 Repro:





I'll be putting up some vintage small parts, most of them are worn and I'll have it reparkerized.

With a Carbonia WWI Repro:

Very nice Concept VI! Mind asking were you got it from & how much for such a fine piece?

 

[Megaclocker]

Nothing special, but it works !

my new TRP just came in this month...hope to test it out soon. Everything I will ever need in a 1911...I swapped out the full length guide rod and plug for a standard GI one. The slide to frame fit is awesome!

 

[red_star]

Here's a recent acquisition Colt O1911A1 World War II Reproduction, which I have replaced some small parts (trigger,hammer,msh) with vintage USGI ones that I had them reparked.

I have yet to look for the correct thumb safety and slide stop(with correct checkerings).

I had also replaced the stock mim extractor with a milled vintage one.












slapped in a blued mag from a WWI repro...

 

[Colquhoun]

Very nice!
Had one in my hands several years ago and regret not buying it.....never been able to find one since...
They are beautiful pistols!
