1911 Lovers

I’ll play:
From top right clockwise:
Scandium frame S&W, Commander length.
Foster Ind. (Caspian 2nd) ss frame with a ss slide from a guy who’s name I forgot, well know though. Home assembled and fit by me, 9mm Govt. size so it shoots like a baby.
Another Foster Industries frame w/Colt Govt size slide.
Springfield Armory Govt. factory NM serial #, fwiw. Built in early 80’s iirc.
Top left is my latest purchase, Ed Brown Kobra, early 1743 SN. Shoots like a dream. My fav.
All are .45ACP other than the 9mm Foster.

 

Good looking group...

 

Thank you sir.

 

New grips for the Classic and decided to stick with the DW/VZ factory grips on the Specialist... for now.

Now to get a couple of these to the range this weekend.

 

Always heard good things about DW autos. Never shot one but I have a few older 357 revos. Nice collection there.

 

I have the FNX .45 in FDE.
Love the Damn Thing!!!
It'll shoot pretty much whatever you feed it.
Did have some problems with some white box ammo but it appears that it was only that batch.

 

So, here's a gun I'd like to have if I came across a clean one: DW Specialist Commander in 9mm. Not sure of exact numbers but production on these was from around 2014/2015 - 2019.

DW re-released the Specialist in 2020, with minor tweaks and some will argue the pre-2019 version is better, but they have yet to re-offer a Commander size in 9mm. Currently 9mm is only available in 5" while 45acp/10mm are available in 5" and 4.25"

I think retail on these new was in the $1300 range and would guesstimate a clean used one would fetch $1500 +/-


This buyer must have FU$$... After taxes and fees that a $3600 gun.

 

Does a 2011 count? In 10mm?

 

There are a lot of 1911A1 pistols available. They copy the G.I. basic 1911 pistol. I believe Springfield Armory makes one. Another is Rock Island Armory. At least I believe they have them. They're usually I'm the 450-500 dollar range I think.

 

2011's are welcome...let's see the goods.

 

I'll have to post it later. I'm at the gym right now.

 

Yeah, 3600 for that is crazy.

 

I have the same pistol. The tactical one. Matched it up with a Silencerco Osprey. Shoots like a dream!!

 

Yep, I like VZ grips. I have a set on my edc Sig 938.

 

Not that I'm aware of. MAYBE some acetone but that would probably remove the finish too.

 

No worries, ended up trading that gun for the DW Classic I have. Eventually plan to replace it with another 10mm.

 

Get both!!

 

Nice!!
Recently had my S&W 10mm reamed to accept 10mm Magnum!!
So recently that I havent had time to shoot it.
We rent a place in East Texas that sits on 10k acres of woods.
Great place to shoot and roam around on the SxS.
The place is covered in lakes of various sizes.
When they built I-10 years ago they got the sand off the property and it left lakes all over the place.
Great Fishing for Largemouth,Crappie and Catfish!!!
Of course ya gotta watch out for Gators and you gotta keep your stringer close to the boat or they become a Gator Snack!!!

 

I gotchya.

 

I've been considering getting the Osprey myself.
Seeing that threaded barrel everytime I take it out just keeps nagging at me to do the paperwork.

 

I run an Obsidian45 on my Discretion and swap the adapter and end cap to use it on the 9mm...

 

Very Nice!!!

 

Yeah, it's funny, I'm much more a go guy than a show guy and looks of things aren't really important. However, the Osprey is the exception. Love the flats! It also doesn't look like anything else.

 

Havent posted a pic in ages....
We'll see if this works.
My favorite HandGun and Rifle.....

Oh....The AR is made by Sig Sauer.

 

The S&W 10mm. reamed to accept the 10mm. Magnum round.

 

NICE!!!
