How Many 1911s Do You Have?

[scout706]

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 :)

4 if you count the Colt Ace .22.

[WHEC724]

Only two.

Of course, that means that there are many that I have to look forward to... Like maybe this one.

Agreed! I'm hoping to get my 1st soon. Still undecided. I've been reading a ton. I just need to get out and shoot some now.

Isn't it funny how we collect some stuff. I got a buddy who loves model 12's he must have 8 or 9 of them.

I do not know why they are all basically the same but I can not pass one up... No matter how many I have if I see one I will stop and check it out and there is a 75% chance I will buy it???? I am sick.. My wife says they all look the same to her, I do not have the heart to say they look the same because they are the same haha

[msgt/ret]

Only six.

Springfield Micro-Compact
Springfield Commander
Colt 1911 38 Super
Kimber Custom
Taurus PT1911
And my Johnny Cash gun built like the song “One Piece at a Time”

Always looking for another.

Just one. Plain Jane GI. Closest to the original. Functional. No bells and whistles. I just don't see the need for beavertails, FLG's, and other bells and whistles on a 1911. It takes away the purity of the design IMHO

I could tell ya, but then I'd have ta kill ya.
