Show off your 1911s!

Post by DanAtHenry » Tue Apr 05, 2016 10:29 pm

I don't have one, but I am in the market for one. Got one eye on a Springfield Armory Range Officer and the other eye on the new Colt Competition 1911. Would love to see if any of you have a 1911 to show off and tell me about.

Dan,

It would be nice if I had one of these Coonans to show off!! I did get to shoot one at a LGS (Classic model), and it is very easy to handle, and very accurate. It's on that well-known "my-wish-list-of-the-next-handgun" most of us have. :lol: Have fun on your search as you are now "in the market."

Following are two pictures from the Coonan web site: the stainless steel with oak grip is the Classic I shot; the second black Classic model is what I'd like to see in my gun cabinet. And here is a link to a video Hickok45 did on this 1911: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKM5B7ykQBs

.357 Magnum caliber is my favorite. I have a Henry .357 Big Boy, a Ruger .357 SP101, and the Coonan Classic would complete this strong trio!!

Enjoy the video...Hickok45 did a good job looking at this .357 Magnum 1911.

How about a Model Of 1911 US Army? The serial number dates it to 1917.

I love looking at 1911 . This the only one I have left . I won a lot of combat type matches with this gun in 20 yrs . It is a stock parts inside gun and 1 of 992 made . I paid $249 for it NEW . It out shot my Gold Cup so I sold the Gold Cup and got 2 more Randall with the money .

The first pistol I ever shot was a 1911. Didn't much care for it at the time but I sure like them now.

Dan, the Range Officer and the new Colt are both good choices. So is the Ruger SR1911.

There are so many choices with 1911's. That's a good thing, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start. :)
