Post pics of your 1911's any make

[red442joe]

Here's an unusual and rare Bullseye 1911 that I am in the process of bringing home.

Can anyone guess it's provenance?

I've seen the comp before.
I, for one, would like to hear more about it.

Formerly mine, all dressed up before I sold it.

I own one and a half 1911's.


Kimber Classic Gold Match. Early production. Ordered from and personally delivered by their Director of Marketing, Dwight VanBrundt at a Kalispell gun show


Over 25 years later, at the same Kalispell show, I bought the Rimfire Target Conversion Kit.
Two-tone appearance makes it more difficult (for me at least) to grab the wrong ammo/magazine.
Practice just became (somewhat) cheaper. Accuracy is more than satisfying.

I think I've had this one for almost 10 years or so. I just replaced the grips on it. It's more comfortable now than with the wood grips that were on it before.

Mine are nuthin' as pretty as what's been shown here recently...
AMT Hardballer long slide, your basic Springfield Armory, and a SIG 1911 C3 in stainless...

Either you've got small hands or that's a freakishly small pistol.

AMT Hardballer long slide

That should be called the "AT&T Harballer" for when you want to reach out and touch someone long distance!

Heres one I built earlier this year in .38 super, I used a Caspian frame and Caspian damascus slide with damascus trigger. Slide to frame tightened, oversized Kart barrel that we fit, Wilson BP parts with Cylinder and slide internals, adjustable sights, mammoth ivory grips. We did the bluing in house but sent out for the color case hardening on the frame. Plus approx 40 hours of labor to get this thing all tuned up, one of my favorite builds

SWEEEET!!!!! boo-koo beauty! I enjoy the look of "case coloring", The Mammoth grips are awesome but the grip screws really add a finishing touch. They really twist my throttle. A little trick I have I'll share from my H-D days is putting screw head caps in the wrench hole.
It just finishes & cleans up the look. Simple, simple small detail blocks debri, ie. whatever, from dirtying up the void that takes some doing to get spiffed up. That little trick adds a big, big detailed finish.
Awesome piece & .38 super

Those Sistema Colt Modelo 1927 1911s aren't small. They're full size 1911s. It might look like it from his photo because how he has the magazine hanging out.
I had a chance to buy one of those (a little bit more than) several years ago. But, I wasn't able to do it at the time. I wish I would have been able to.
They have an interesting story. They originally were built under license from Colt in Argentina starting in the late 1920s. In the late 1930s, Ballester-Molina would also start building an almost identical handgun (as a less expensive alternative to the Model 1927) , but some of the internals were different.

Cool story, but I was making a joke about the monster magazine.

I wanted to try out some grip panels with a larger mag cutout. So, same ol' Guardian, brand new LOK grips

 

[wolfcreed]

This one showed up today that I received from the second CMP offering of 1911's (Round 2).
My only 1911 at this point:

Remington Rand
August 1944
1945 Colt barrel (I think)
Grips are Korean War replacement based on the part numbers found.

 

[Iceman04503]

Picked this up today.

Hands down, the best combination of features and bang for the buck on the market.

It really came together for me when I added the stag grips. They'd probably go better on an old colt, but I don't have one lol.
