1911 Show-N-Tell

[SERparacord]

This is "New to Me" Delta Elite that was bone stock when I picked it up at the last 1500. I installed a 10-8 rear sight and replaced all Cast and polymer parts with Wilson Combat Bulletproof Parts. I don't know if it is worth what I have in it, but I'm Liking it.

Nice looking Colt. Even with the scratch.

You must be doing well for yourself. That's a nice 10mm Colt you have there.

very nice!!!!!!!...your first?....you'll like how it shoots!!!.....looks like my CQB different color and thicker bushing.....

The top one has a flanged barrel - a new experience for me on a 1911. Looking forward to trying it out and seeing if the extreme front weighting does what it's supposed to do; tame the recoil a bit and allow faster follow up shots. Time will tell, I suppose. The bottom one is a pretty tricked out Compact; it's essentially one of their BWC (Bill Wilson Carry) pistols. I really like it, but I do think I prefer the longer grip of the Government/Commander frame both for the extra round and because it fits my hand a bit better. I suspect I'll swap it out for a nice Commander one of these days.

Nice collection! My personal favorite is your early 1911 towards the top left. I need to add something like that to my collection one of these days.

That's a nice collection! I've got those same Herrett's skip-checkered grips on 1972 Colt Commander - they must've been a "thing" at some point because I've never heard of them being factory offered, but they sure show up on a lot of 70's Colts.

very nice collection you have there!!.....is the one on the right at around 3:30 a light weight Commander mid to late 60's?.....what caliber is it?

 

[LARGrizzly]

That would be correct, pre 70 series LW Commander in 38 Super. Belonged to the Chief that hired me long ago.

 

[LARGrizzly]

The Herrett grips are on the 1966 Government Model.

 

[LARGrizzly]

The one with the lanyard on it is a 1915 military. The other two military's are a Remington Rand and a Colt that was reworked at Springfield Armory after the war as a National Match gun.

i have 2 1968's in Super 38...one's a beater and the other looks likes yours.....the plum colored slide gave it away

 

[LARGrizzly]

The bright polished stainless one wioth the black/gray grips is also a 38 super. 100 year anniversary Colt Custom.

 

[LARGrizzly]

Trying to score a set of original plastic grips like trhe ones on the LW Commander for the one with Herrett's on it.
