My first 1911...

[Vinnie Boombatz]

Picked up my first 1911 earlier today that I bought from an awesome fellow CG'er.

This is my first 1911 and I already love this thing. Aesthetically, nothing else I own comes close (including a couple Berettas). Love my Berettas and XD9, but there going to be ignored for a bit during the honeymoon period.

That is what happened to me. Bought one and now have a herd.

Got to love the Springfield 1911. It's hard to beat them. I've got a couple of them and I've never had a single problem.

FWIW, there is a handgun forum here..

You still need one in .45ACP.

Thought about that, but without any .45 ACP ammo it's just a paperweight. I have a lot of 9mm, so it was the logical choice this time.

I wasn't sure I'd dig the stainless finish, thinking it was too flashy, but I really like it. Think it will look even better once it gets more smudged and scratched up!

You should send in a packet to the CMP to get in line for a chance to pick up an issued 1911A1. it will be a while before the lucky ones get called but that gives you time to save up.

Everyone needs an old war horse, United States Property marked 1911 in their collection.

Nice one OP!

My condolences! They multiply and get expensive!

A full size 9mm 1911 is the next on on my list!
