Hey all this is Rapid68, long time firearms enthusiast and your no BS Harley Davidson expert. Grew up shooting 1911's but have never owned one due to my left handedness, I decided its time to overcome that hurdle! look forward to reading and connecting with as many of you as I can! Best, Rapid68

I've actually been here for a month (full disclosure) and enjoy the forums. I'm a retired law enforcement sergeant from California after 32years on the job. So glad to be here and retired! I have a variety of firearms but truly believe there isn't anything prettier, or better shooting the a...

New from Washington state. Seattle area. Good day! Carry on.

Hey everyone, I'm a new member from CO. I love my 1911's like everyone else. My dearly beloved is a Colt Competition in .45ACP. Series 70 of course... I look forward to intriguing conversations with everyone! Also, I'm trying to move a Ruger SR1911 Navy Seal Foundation .45ACP 5" pistol as...

Hello, I'm Gene and I've been shooting since I was a teenager. That was a few years ago. :) Hoping to join in on conversations where I can add something, but to do more listening than talking. Having two ears and one mouth, I've found using them proportionally is a good thing.;)

Good morning! This is my first post, and hopefully far from my last. I'm finally at a point in my life where I can afford to start picking up a new gun or two here and there, and have decided that the 1911 is most definitely the way to go! My edc I've had for almost 10 years is a Kimber Ultra...

Im a long time lurker but will be posting a thread soon regarding trouble shooting a problem I and DW have not been able to resolve. Like most of you I own and enjoy many types of guns but have special affection for 1911's. I currently own 3 Colt's, a Springer, and the problematic DW Specialist...

Hello to all on the forum. I am an old school adherent of the "one man, one gun" school of shooting when it comes to pistols. I have been a student of the gun for over 50 years and my pistol of choice is John Browning's masterful .45ACP 1911. I have a Wilson Combat CQB Compact for summer...

Behind enemy lines as some might say, but I'll never leave. This place is my home. I'll never abandon this beautiful state to those deluded, benighted fools trying to destroy it.

Hello to all, new member from Kansas. Yeah I'm addicted to 1911's, Colt Defender in 9mm and 45 ACP, Springfield Armory Loaded Long Slide 45 ACP, Remington R1 1911 10mm Hunter and Colt Government Model MK IV Series 80 .380 Auto.

Own a few 1911's in various calibers. Really love the design. This forum appears to have quite a few members so I am sure there is a wealth of knowledge to be tapped here. Looking forward to reading many interesting threads.

Happy New Year to you all, I am an looking to get a 1911 this year. I've own 2 or 3 over the years and the last one was a full size I traded to get a Browning HP back in 1989. I will never ever trade or sell it, but it needs a brother (lol) so I'm looking at getting a commander in 9mm. I have...

Actually signed up a while back, but first time posting. Really great forum and hope I can add to the fun. My 1911's add up to three, well, actually four. I have a 1975 Colt NM that has never been fired. My 1911 shooters: Les Baer PII Les Baer Monolith Dan Wesson PM7 - modified by Rob at...

I am a new member and I am addicted to the 1911 platform. I just have four 1911 pistols. A Colt government, Dan Wesson PM7, Les Baer Premier II and a Nighthawk Talon. John Browning was a very special gun designer/engineer.

Hello Fellow JMB design aficionados! My name is Dan and that is my original Colt Commander proudly (and defiantly) sitting atop a pile of Glocks during Glock Days this year; the Glock Rep was none too impressed lol I don't know how I haven't found this forum for so long, because I've been...

Hello, new to the forum but old to pistols. I have not shot 1911s much since I was in the USMC back in the day when we carried 1911s, but a recent purchase of a Dan Wesson has got me going again. Again, hello and I look forward to the experience.

Hi As a recommend member to 1911 Addicts I am pleased to be here. I am a NRA life endowment member , I shoot at a local range with two other retired guys about once a week. I look forward to your forum and all the interesting stuff enlightened by all comments. I already have or in the process...

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this unique forum. Fairly new to the world of 1911's, but am looking forward to enjoying all that goes on here.

I have been reading the 1911 ADDICTS forum for several weeks and decided to join as a member as I enjoy reading the various posts. I have been a member of 1911Forum for several years. I have been active in the shotgun sports , trap, skeet, and sporting clays for many years. I started my interest...

Hello. Just signed up. Looking forward to learning and hopefully making some worth while contributions. I don’t get to shoot as much as I’d like to, partly because I’m in this ridiculous state where ranges are far and few , work, and a 13 yr old daughter. I’m a 1911 fan. Have a TRP and one of...
