I really like those SIGs, but they're all very pretty!

(an emoji for each one)

What about the valor????

Did I not say that they are all very pretty?

Felt compelled to share a picture of the finished Ronin .38 Super conversion. Today added the Smith & Alexander Slim magwell mainspring housing and Slim Cocobolo grips. That concludes all previously desired changes.

That's a sweet pistol! I'll bet it looks even better in person. Have ya shot it yet?

Thanks. Indeed it does look better in person. I've not had the opportunity to shoot it as a .38 Super, but Velzey assures me it's smooth as silk…

Put a bunch of rounds through it as a 9mm and was duly impressed.

You said Sig, then all. You should have said "the valor is amazing, and the sigs are nice".

Don't know about anybody else, but I have a high regard for Dan Wesson 1911's.
The two I've owned were both very nicely finished, accurate and reliable.
I fell in love with the Bobtail the first time I grabbed it. I traded into a 45 first and then bought a 10mm because it seemed like it was the right thing to do. After a little while I sold the 10mm, because it seemed like the right thing to do. I've owned 9 different 1911's by 5 different manufactures, and the Dan Wesson is the one I kept. I've had the thing so long the night sights aren't really night sights anymore. I carry one of two handguns. This is one of them.
My wife kept the Ruger. Everybody that's shot it has shot my Dan Wesson. Most liked the Ruger... ??

As good as a 9mm may be in any gun, it just leaves me flat in a 1911. On the other hand, the 38 Super just oozes cool. It may not be a practical proposition when it comes to buying ammo easily. If the owner reloads, any thing a Parabellum can do, a Super can do, and then some. It's also gangster and nostalgic.

I had a DW ECO in 45 that I ended up selling to a buddy. I had a hankering for a Wilson Combat, otherwise I would have kept it.

Not exactly a 1911 I own, but one I hope to find. A Kimber Clackamas Gold Match. If you have one you want to part with, let's talk.

I did the same with an ECO. They are now hard to come by and I do miss it.

That looks amazing in all chrome! Solid flex too already rocking a custom knife with Magnacut!

Thank you—kind of lucked myself into a dream EDC combo!

I got a CQB Compact in Turnbull blue.

I can't tell for sure, but the Kimber looks like an early pistol

A recent purchase.

 

[Jeepsnguns]

My current stash of 1911 & 1911ish pistols, Kimber micro 9, Wilson Sentinel Compact 3.6" BBL & Wilson Experior 4.25" BBL.
All are chambered in 9mm, I know, I know, not JMB's original or God's chosen caliber, but age and other circumstances sometimes force one to modify their behavior.
I do have a S&W 625 PC revolver chambered in .45 acp which in my mind allows me to retain my "man card".

Colt Defender 40 S&W

I wasn't looking for one, it found me and the price was right. Need to get some trigger time behind it to see if the factory mags are reliable. It also came with one aftermarket mag with a plastic pink follower.

Had to adopt this odd but sexy combat commander today. 70s serial, 70s blue slide built 1980 but looks like modern accessories....beavertail, magwell, skel trigger, rubber scales. The trigger is amazing... .no sponge just the tiniest play then bang. Clearly somebodys pet project. A lot tighter than government work. Some rash but this will be in the carry rotation.
