r/1911

2024 DW heirloom. Like it? Hate it? Don’t see these often posted.

Picked this up today. Springfield Armory made approximately 30,000 1911s, only producing them in 1914 and 1915 in a government contract with Colt, prior to the start of WW1. This 111 year old warhorse was rebuilt at Augusta Arsenal (AA) sometime around WW2 where it was parkerized and received replacement parts. If this 1911 could talk

New Gonçalo alves grips on the Baer from Hogue. Previous mods include the Baer magwell installed by Baer, gold bead front sight and new extractor (with backup extractor) done by Nighthawk. Shown in the Galco Avenger holster gifted to me by my best friend. If I have anything else done, it'll probably be a taller, Harrison designs rear sight to go from a combat hold to center hold.

Those that own both… is the EMP worth the extra $? I’ve already read the differences on paper. I included my current 1911s to depict what I’ve got so far.

Anybody know of a duty rated holster (level 2 or 3) that’ll fit the TRP with an X300 and an rmr??

& Will an Operator (half rail) holster fit a TRP?

Picked up this bad Larry the other day, 12 big ones. Slapped some Herrett's on it and pinned the grip safety. It's fit like a Colt from 2016, but it runs like it should.

69c series, 89 combat commander...and a new garrison to round them out

I’m tempted now that I have a Colt commander that I might want to start customizing my Remington R1 government. The hang up I have is throwing at least a thousand dollars or more worth of parts at a pistol that on a good day would bring $500. Yes it’s at least made in the USA but am I insane? Pic of my bone stock Remington.

Not my first, but it’s the first one to get back into the 1911 after being without one for a few years. Picked it up on a pretty good discount and am quite pleased

Ruger SR1911 Nightwatchman never fired and in my hands as of today.

She came in today 🤗

Held this handgun at my local shop and man does it feel nice. Does anyone have any knowledge about it? The external extractor doesn’t really bother me personally. For $850 is it a good buy. There’s also a $100 rebate on it right now. Should I snag it up?

trying to better understand what I have here and what it's worth.

got it from a family member who bought it new.

things I know: when it was bought and from what I have googled it is a limited or special run for rsr.

Sportsman’s had a sale with the cheapo optic included and I figured why not. Holy crap is that trigger better than my Glocks, I can only imagine what the expensive ones are like. Did a brief range trip with it earlier and was very pleased.

anyone have the Tisas 1911A1 service that could show me the roll mark? would it be easy to remove?
