How many 1911's do you have? It seem's they are like Lays potato chips, nobody can just own one
I have 3, a SS Colt Defender, SS Colt Commander, and safely tucked away with my Grandfather, his WWII issue Navy Colt 1911.
I had originally planned on just the Defender. But, Nelson Ford is working his magic, adding an Ambi safety (I'm left handed), and doing some other things. So I haven't had a gun to carry in a couple of weeks and yesterday, I finally got my CWP in the mail. I was thinking, "Jeez, a CWP, and no W to C!! So I stopped by the local gun store, and the Commander followed me home. Problem almost solved
Now I am thinking, that since both of my Colts are SS and marked with the "100 Years of Service" rollmark, I should get the 5" SS Colt to complete the collection. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't quite see it that way... yet However, as with most things in marriage, it's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission
I have ZERO. I hate to say it, but I have never seen the appeal of the 1911. It is too big and ugly. Yes, I understand it is a quality, reliable weapon. But its just not for me. I have Glocks, Walthers, and Tauras. Unless somebody gives me one, I doubt I'll ever have a 1911.
I appreciate the 1911 and it is my favorite platform, but there are so many other quality HG's. I only own one 1911 currently, a Colt Combat Elite. I've owned Springers, Kimbers, a Wilson and a Colt Stainless 1991A1 in the past, but they get traded for other pistols and such. I will say one thing though, no matter how many or how few guns I own at any time there is always a 1911 in my collection.
This is embarassing, but I have a Para C6 3", a Para C7 3.5", a Kimber Pro-Carry 4", a S&W Commander 4.25", a Kimber LE 1911 5" and an AMT Longslide 7". I'm considering the Springfield Longslide 6" to fill in the gap. Funny though, my current EDC is a S&W 5906.
