1911 Show-N-Tell

[DocHoliday]

Nothing special, but I am just a part time 1911'er.

Nice to always to say you have the 1st of something. Ruger is a good company that will be around for a very long time. I haven't had any issues with mine.

Not mine, but I found this seriously gorgeous. Wouldn't mind acquiring a 1911 along these lines...

here's mine that I sort of want to get rid of... but can't pull the trigger on getting rid of it yet

Since you all have some nice models here, anyone have advice on a good entry level 1911 for a new gun owner?

 

[IrishIndy17]

Are there any Indy area dealers still offering the Sig buy one get one 1911 offer?

 

[IrishIndy17]

Additionally, I'd be willing to drive outside Indy or even go online.

This thread is like porn , although you've done it before, you just want to see other people doing it too!

I haven't had too many 1911s, but the Colt Government I had I gave to my son. I bought a Kimber Pro CDP II that I tried hard to love, but found that whenever I fired it, the beaver tail dug into my thumb knuckle. After a few mags, my thumb was done.

I didn't want to give up on the 1911, so I was determined to someday find one that fit my hand better. Saturday was that "someday."

I wasn't looking to buy, but I happened to spy the most beautiful 1911 I'd ever seen in the store the other day. To make it irresistible, Sig is running a promotion right now where, if you buy one of their 1911s, you can buy one of their .22LR 1911s for only $99! I couldn't say no.

Meet my new mistress, "Shannon" (I named her after Shannon Bream, because when I first saw this pistol, I let out the same audible sigh that I do whenever Shannon Bream comes on TV.)

... and her baby brother:

I staged it with some vintage .45 ACP cartridges for fun. He's a decent, fun plinker, but that's about it.

Does anyone know where the BOGO Sig offer is going on in IN?

Springfield makes a good entry level 1911 that has good parts and quality for the $$. You should be able to get a nice mil-spec for around $600.

Butt-head.......

True. But it doesn't have anything to do with this thread.
