My 1911...

[Michael in California]

Everyone else posts pics, I'll be no different.

Springfield Loaded stainless.

Mine is the one on the left. The other one is a relative's and why I ended up with the same pistol.



He is me with my crappy technique. One day, I'm gonna have a pro teach me how to shoot.

Congratulations. My first 1911 was a Springfield loaded. Still miss that one.

SA Loaded & Win White Box .45ACP ftw

.
Nice action shots, Michael!

I usually roll my eyes when someone else posts theirs in a thread they haven't started, but, here goes (since the topic is identical)...



Springfield Loaded, parkerized. Winchester white box. Sooty, but consistent.

15 yds offhand.

Happy customer!

Congrats! Great choice! Any chance you can share where you're shooting? Just wondering since all BLM has been closed as of late. Just hoping you're near SD and would extend an invite! hahaha

Nice shooting. Sell your Rolex, get more 1911

Same here. A lil extra leverage vs. the thumbs forward.

SA Loaded was my first 1911 also, love it. Congrats

Your the second person to call my cheap watch a Rolex. I don't wear art investments. $40 from Amazon.

Sorry, no. But it ain't local to you anyway, so don't feel bad. It gets junked up quite a bit. Some of it is inconsiderate shooters shooting TVs and such and some of it are idiots dumping trash. Heck, the dump is only a couple of miles away. We try to take a rake and do a little cleaning up. Never get any brass as some locals seem to keep that cleaned up and we can't take away big stuff, but we take home more than bring.

is it a "Folex" or is it something like the Invicta line of watches?

Sweet...congrats OP. That's an awesome 1911 you have there.

Stuhrling. Wife got it for $40 but its typically $60. It has some rediculous list price in the several hundred dollar range, but always available for $60. Downside, plastic crystal but they give it a real fancy name for a piece of plastic - Krysterna.

The wife will be pleased at your compliment though.

Why did you go through the trouble of obscuring your serial number in the first photo? Especially when it is so clearly visible in the third?
I know what you're thinking, "D@MN DIGITAL CAMERAS!!"
