    Hey there Addicts! I need some words of wisdom from the more tenured and enlightened crowd here. I currently own a single 1911, a blue SA Garrison in 45, which I really like so far. Got about 500 rounds through it (with 1 FTE) and have approached it as my learning gun. I’m a newb and its been a...

    Edit: This one is SOLD folks, thank you so much!! It is with great sadness that I offer this up for grabs: a Colt Classic 1911 that I sent off to Wilson Combat for some sleeper work. Before sending it off to Wilson, I replaced the plastic MSH with an OEM Colt arched MSH and I also replaced the...

    Being short on ammo I only had 3 boxes of syntech ammo, so I went thru a box of 50 out the back of my shop and fed the hungry little thing. Not a single hiccup or anything, really happy with it! I wasn’t shooting a proper “target” per ce but I learned not practicing my 1911 skills has my aim...

    Was out and about today and it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything besides kimber 1911’s in the LGS, when I came across a Colt 1911 Government classic. Being 799 basically MSRP, I picked it up. Got it home, stripped it down and removed grip panels etc, and I’m very happy with it. It’s been a...

    This NH Classic Commander recently sold on Gunbroker. I fell in love with the look of it and almost bid on it. Have too many 9mm commanders so I held off. Also have two NH Classics, one stainless 9mm and one DLC 38 Super. Now I am thinking of sending the stainless slide to the mothership to be...

    Ima like an 8 year old who has to pee, dancing around. Can’t wait for my Classic Super to arrive next week. I believe this will be my Colt project pistol. Harrison retro rear and hammer, Novak’s megadot, and maybe, maybe, the smallest beavertail I can find. Polished blue.

    Up for sale is my Nighthawk Custom Classic in 45ACP with complete DLC finish. I’m the second owner. This pistol has seen shamefully little use and due to the outstanding durability of the DLC finish shows so little wear that I’m confident saying it is 99% condition. If you disagree I’ll buy...

    I was going back and forth about what forum to post these in, but I figured I would just drop them here. Going through some photos and figured you guys might be interested in seeing them. From a museum trip in Poland. Starting the show with some show stoppers: I tried to get the curator to...

Gorgeous rifles! Maybe I can get a #21308 later this year? Only 1,000 of the #21308's will be made. I like...
