Gotta continue with 1911s here.

We're going off into the weeds again with wacky uncommon Colt factory chamberings with this one-year only 1993 offering of a Colt Government Model Enhanced in .40...

This is gratifying to see, shooting neato obsolete cartridges. Big fun! .25-20 Single Shot would be great fun to hand load and shoot.

Oh man!

I've been away, but that is a "real deal" if it's as described. I"m hoping you were able to snag that one for the price. If you did, photos would be fun.

Here's a Colt Model 1903 .32...

Oh, I don't mind John. Forum ribbing is fun and one needs to be able to take it as well as he might dish it out. I'm just enthused about furthering the cause of the 1911.

Should have stuck this one up before the Ace for it's two years older than the Ace is and I was going in order of oldest to newest.

This is a garden variety Colt Government Model in 9mm Luger,...

Oh, but for an avowed lover of all things .22 rim fire, a full sized blued steel 1911 gun in .22 has its own yummy flavor of meat.

Tastes great! Less filling!

Back, sort of like a bad 1911 penny, with more 1911 guns and caliber variants.

This time with full size and weight .22 that Colt once offered for unique rim fire 1911 gun fun. With its floating...

.38 Super is a great automatic pistol cartridge. It's everything the 9mm is cracked up to be, yet isn't.

I'm late in life to the .38 Super game. Wanted one for decades, mostly for handloading...

Ok, we're going off into the wild and wacky weeds factory Colt chamberings again with this Government Model. It's a standard configuration Series 70 Mark IV Government model except that its...

First commercial Colt 1911-type pistol I ever bought new, this Series 70 Gold Cup. Colt look-up says this one was produced in 1979, but I bought it brand new in 1982, the year our eldest son was...

I still like the .45 ACP best of all in the 1911 guns.

I do tote one fairly often. It's simply stoked with plain ol' Winchester Western 230 grain jacketed hollow points. If it opens up, then...

^This!^

I like rifles best, like shooting rifles, playing with rifles, thinking about rifles, but I do like Colt and Smith & Wesson handguns as along as they are not the "new, new, new guns"...

How about more promotion of 1911 guns at this juncture. Gotta be folks here who admire the genius of John M. Browning.

This one is an immediate post war Colt Government Model .45 from 1947. It's...

We really need to set a goal for crossing the 50% threshold.

Love ol' Winchesters, especially the Model 1892! Any caliber or configuration will do.
...

Just continuing to keep the 1911 fire burning here.

This is an early 1944 vintage Remington Rand 1911A1. It's s sure 'nuff shooter and groups almost as well as a Colt Gold Cup also kept on hand. ...

Sticking up another 1911 here, still hoping to generate some interest in 1911-guns generally. This one is a "real" 1911, a term which has come to mean a entire genre of handguns, some of which stray...

What about the 1911-gun? Is there much interest here in 1911s, in the broadest sense of the term "1911" as it is used in modern times to describe a genre of handguns?

I like 1911s. Only pre-lock...
