Can we start a handgun and long gun picture threads?

[BigAl52]

That’s cause none of us are as good as we once was

it is a wonderful gun, Sig Sauer 1911 with hogue piranha grip ! love it !!!!

He's one of those I really want ..., the one above all ... maybe ...

top 5 in 45 ACP:
- s & w 1911 e-series ta (or not ta )
- sig sauer 1911 scorpion
- Ruger SR 1911 (all )
- sig sauer 1911 Tacops
- Colt 1911 (all )

as I quit smoking, I put aside money every month to resell my glock 21 and buy one of those there ...
I like my glock, but the butt is really wide for my hands. I prefer the feeling of a 1911 single stack

I am currently testing with red dot and light / laser ....
it seems very efficient, but will never have the class of a 1911

It's actually a Sig P-220 Combat in .45 ACP

Here are my 1911's...Both Springfield.

TRP .45 and EMP .9mm

I have small hands so I learned single stacks work better for me. The P-220 is a single stack.

The .45 is the King for sure. There is nothing like putting .45 ACP down range

The .9mm is made for concealed carry. EMP stands for Enhanced Micro Pistol.

It's a sweet little shooter. I had to send it back because it was having FTF issues when I first got it. Springfield is top notch with customer service and they cut and polished the feed ramp for me on their dime. It has been good to go ever since.

Oh...but I beg to differ.
Mine is a 1894 45 colt.

They did make a 336 in 45-70 & 38-55.
Would love to have a 38-55 Cowboy.

I have a Springfield Range Officer full sized 1911 in 9mm and it is very reliable. It shoots everything I have tried, factory ball, hand loads with XTP hollow points and plated bullets. I say it’s as much fun to shoot as a .357 lever action carbine. A funny side story, on the local gun trader site there has been some discussion about 9mm 1911’s and a guy noted (in jest). “Having a 1911 in 9mm is like having a Camaro with the V6”. (Not to disrespect V6 Camaro’s, I’ve driven one with the 5 speed and is was very fast).

Sorry - couldn't help myself!

Winchester Ranger 30-30, an early AE Model. The recently acquired High Standard 1911. Need some stag grips on the pistol, then I could call it the Longmire edition.

You shoot that brass thrower yet

[Vaquero]

Al, I ran one mag through it, just to check the function.
It ran flawless, startin to warm up around here.
If my partner is feeling better we're going to work today.
If not, it'll be a good day to play with some firearms.

Very nice JM .45.

357M beauties!

The Henry has had the rear sight pulled and replaced with a blank and an RPP aperture. The lever takedown screw is replaced and the light is there mostly as just a place to keep it. I mean, useful if things go bump in the night outside and there is something more than a hungry raccoon digging around for grubs.
The Kimber has had the entirely too small original grips replaced with the grips for a 4" Combat model. I need Hogue to step up and make the combat size over molded mono grips.
