Back in the 1911 fold

Tonight I picked up my new 1911A1, a Springfield Loaded Stainless. I used to own a 1945-vintage 1911A1 with U.S.Army marks that I sadly had to let go during a family emergency on Christmas, so I only got to enjoy my very own 1911 for a month or two. Ever since I lost that gun, I've been eyeing 1911s in gun store showcases, trying to decide on a full-sized model.

Coincidentally, this Springfield 1911 is also the first gun I bought brand new since April or May...my recent collecting binge of fine, used *&* wheelguns netted me 10 good guns, every last one of them pre-owned.

I'll be taking this one out to the range this weekend, and I hope she shoots as sweet as she looks.

That's the PX9151L...isn't it. :cool: Must....resist......HELP!

As the 1911 approaches the centennial of its birth, its popularity has yet to wane. John "Moses" Browning is God's prophet on Earth.
 
That's the one I wish I would have gotten instead of the parkerized model. I hate the feel of the finish on mine and it doesn't get shot because of it.:(
 
I felt the same way when I sold my S.A. Loaded. Ever since then, I felt "empty" inside and I was really getting dissapointed with my "combat tupperware". Then there just happen to be an "annual sale" at the local sportshop a couple of weeks ago and I ended up taking home the new Kimber you see below. Wow, it really "brought me to my senses" :D
