My 1911’s
Re: My 1911’s
I think you're going to enjoy that PM7. I've handled several and the fit, finish and trigger are just wonderful. Congrats.

Re: My 1911’s
Nothing like a 1911 is there? My first love affair was with the 1911.
My humble offerings.
Dan Wesson Silverback 10mm
And my Dan Wesson Valor in 45acp
Both with grips made by my favorite grip maker.....

Re: My 1911’s
Very nice. I really like the second pair.

Re: My 1911’s
More 1911s and more grips to show off.
This photo was the last group pic.
This was the wall as of two weeks ago. You can see the 1911 collection has grown significantly since the last update. The empty space is an American Classic II in 9mm that went back to the factory to fix some blemishes in the hard chrome. Still waiting for it to come back.
Got another Springfield Loaded and set of 9-11 grips to match the other two.
Some Sid Bell eagle grips on the Colt Competition
Some Southern Trapper “Battle Axe” alligator leather grips for the Dan Wesson Pointman Seven
Some deep engraved aluminum Celtic cross grips for a third Springfield Garrison.

Re: My 1911’s
Setup my armorer’s bench yesterday. First order of business was rubber washers on metal grips. Keeps them tight without over torquing and prevents rattling. Since I had them out, I took a pic of one of each of the various metal 1911 grips I picked up this year in a single photo.

Re: My 1911’s
Amazing how nice those metal grips look on your 1911’s. The colors on the grips really enhance the blue pistols.

Re: My 1911’s
I’ve always been a wood grips guy, wood stocks on rifles too. I never thought I’d like metal grips on my guns but after I tried the first pair, I love ‘em. Might feel different in the winter, have to wait and see.

Re: My 1911’s
I've never tried metal grips, although I've talked to some "speed" shooters, for example, those who shoot falling plates, that do like the weight they add in the hand to dampen recoil and keep them on target.

Re: My 1911’s
Not the best looker in 1911 world but the Lil' Fat Boy goes along with me on my travels. Actually like it better than my Ruger SR 1911 being easier to carry and it can carry 10 or 13 rounds of 45. Shoots really well for its size.
