1911 Gun Porn

I know they're good guns...not the point. But seeing a 1911 with the Smith & Wesson name on it is just wrong! It's unnatural.

LoL That was one of the draws for me... but I get you!

As opposed to Ruger, or Taurus or SIG?

The stainless 9mm ones which S&W does are fantastic looking guns

Back to the basics, OK this is not all slick and sexy like these modern ones but I was happy to find this DGFM Sistema Colt Modelo 1927 made for the Argentine Air Force. The vast majority of the 4285 Aeronautica pistols went through a refurb process in the 1970's and were parkerized so finding one like this with the original finish is a big plus. This one was part of a 500 pistol shipment on 08 Feb 1956.

Beautiful gun. I need to increase my adjective repertoire. Love this thread

Smith builds a good 1911. I was on the edge a time or two but never went through with a purchase. Nice buy on the Smith, Ranger.

The latest Firearms News has a Delta Elite on the cover and a story on them inside...it gave me the idea for my Deltas.

Thems be beautious TOMB-- (me salivating)

Hahaha. I’m doing it!

Gotta say...as much as I love the 1911 platform in .45ACP I have really fallen in lust with the 10mm round. It's a truly awesome caliber.

So...this happened today-- Picked up the S&W 1911PD Gunsite Edition from the FFL. Drilled a bullseye first round down range at 7M...I'm a happy man tonight. The scandium alloy frame-- I like it.

Beautiful!!

Found this not too far from home, got it out of jail today. Old school “softball” bulleye pistol. I saw it in the case, asked to see it, looked it over, asked how much and didn’t even haggle on price. I shot it. Needs tuning but enjoy adding it to the stable.

Great find, like the Bomar full rib sights.. got one on the "pin gun"
had to do a double take....

I plan on keeping this set up for soft ball. I have a pin gun. I always had a thing for one of these ribbed gems.

With its balance I can understand why you like it for pins

Dumb question : What's the purpose of the rail for the sights? I've seen some that are used to give a longer sight radius (and I get that), but that one only seems to gain 3/4 of an inch at most

Some of it is weight. Keeps the muzzle down. This changes the recoil and mainspring for e. This pistol had a 16.5 pound recoil spring in it. I am surprised it cycled 100% with the midrange ammo I was shooting. I changed both springs given the extra mass on the slide. Sorta like a comp gun.

Now its just try it out in a test drive.
