Now you gotta be, "One of these 1911 people ..."

Beautiful pistols in this thread.

Some people would call that the quintessential American auto. Congrats.

The GI Model 1911 and the Colt SAA. The most American handguns ever made.

Fairly close copy - except for the sights, ejection port, trigger & SS bushing - my Remington R1:

I have WW I and II vintage 1911's as well as commercial Colts, Star model P, Remington R1's etc. My most often shot 1911 is a Auto Ordnance GI model that is an almost exact clone of my 1943 Colt 1911A1 and I carry it in a reproduction of the shoulder holster that was made by Boyt in 1943 and is reserved for that same Colt 1911A1.
The pistol is totally reliable and handles like a 1911 is supposed to as well as being accurate.

Wow, some great pictures and awesome looking 1911s on here!

My introduction to 1911s came in the form of an off-brand GI-spec type pistol. I like the look and may pick up one of the newer Series 70 Colts eventually to have some close in form, but with almost usable sights.

highpower 3006, I have to ask: how does that 1914 Springfield run?

I really wish you guys wouldn't post pictures like these. I'm drooling all over myself.....
