Boy, that's a stubby little sucker. What's the barrel length?

3" of .45 Hulkster!

I thought it looked pretty short.
Slowly, very slowly I am coming around to the possibility of owning a 1911 in a different caliber than the grand old 45 ACP, but as of now, I've owned a bunch of 1911 style pistols and only one wasn't 45. (10mm)

I must confess. I've lusted after the Colt Competition in 9mm with the blue Colt grips.

1911 and 10 mm is a match made in heaven, likely Ol JM Browning hisself willed it from on high! Once you make the switch, it changes you!
Now, add in he Double Stacks, and it's 1911 perfection!

Yess'in!! I love my 17+1 1911 in 10mm. Other than finding where the brass went.

I always felt a 1911 in anything but .45 ACP was blasphemy until I fired a 9mm Commander sized 1911…. It was like an epiphany, understanding there were other realms of 1911 holiness. So it's ok to have them in .45, 9mm, .38 Super, .38 wadcutter, 10mm….

Allow yourself to explore the goodness of JMB's 1911…

My first 1911 was a Para P12-45. That's a gun I regret selling.
The 10mm was a Dan Wesson CBOB, bought to match the 45 I still have. I say "was", cuz I sold it shortly after buying it. If I'd started loading for it, I may have a different opinion, but there wasn't reasonably priced ammo available and I already had a 41 Mag. I sold a 4" 686+ in the process and still kick myself for that...
A 41 Mag the 10mm isn't.
The 10mm is a polarizing cartridge, much like the 41 Mag. Seems like either you like it or you don't. Me? I was like, "Eh, whatever."

I highly recommend a 1911 in 38 Super. Good enough for John Dillinger, and Baby Face Nelson good enough for me.

Here is a pair that George Madore built for me when we were going to Camp Perry.
The top one is a Bulls eye gun and the Bottom is a Pin Gun for shooting Bowling pins
These had a three point lock up. If you look at the close up, you will see inside the slide is a square plate that put the barrel in the same place every time in lock up. The pin gun was built from scratch Ser.# Linda 1 My wife. Verdeki Triggers and Barstow Barrels. One hole

Just one of my 1911's. This is the newest addition.

That's one I'd like to try out.

I agree, Velzey converted this Ronin to .38 Super…. Lovin' it!

Well, come on down and you can shoot my Cal-Custom Rock Island.

Breaking in my new 1791 Gun Leather holster per their instructions. The Custom II is looking right at home in it.

 

[HA556]

I put some VZ G10 slim grips on the little .45 Blaster and the feeling is a world of difference in my hand!

I don't own an 1911...yet. I do however own several Glocks, but damn it this was to funny not to post.
