All these guns need are forward cocking serrations and light rail.

Yea im considering the tic rail for my 1991 but havent got any feed back on them yet.

It's amazing how a single pistol can have so many beautiful variations.

I was in a small town awhile back and ran into a group of 8 or 10 contractors in a small diner. Struck up a converstaion with them and of course firearms came up. Next think I knew, all but one of them pulled out Kimbers and we safely passed them underneath the table to review. Never would have "expected" them to be armed and certainly wouldn't have expected them to be carrying such a quality gun. They all said you if you're gonna carry, carry the best.

Man, There are some tough looking 1911s in Indiana. I purchased my first single action .45 pistol two years ago. Previously I have owned many semi-auto pistols in varying calibers most notably for me were my Browning BDA.380 which is a nice pistol and my Beretta 92FS Inox which I still have and love. I went to 111 gun shop in Clarksville to purchase an octagon barrel Puma lever action rifle and left with my Springfield A1 1911. I saw it in the glass and my buddy at the shop said "hold this" and that is all it took. I like a heavier gun over polymer or metal over plastic any day. So I fell in love with my SA, and have been searching for a quality single action 9mm because of the comfort I have with my 1911. I really like the EMPs but a little small for my preference and way to $$$$. After months of trying to trade my Sig Pro SP2022 9mm and other guns for this 1911 in 9mm I was offered my new Springfield on trade. I could not be happier with the way this worked out. I now have two SA A1 1911s, .45 and 9mm. I feel like Christmas, I feel like I did when I was 10 and my parents got me a Schwinn Predator bicycle on Christmas morning. I was so happy that 20 years later I smile when I think about that. I could not wait to ride it so I rode it in the house in circles and my parents let me have a little fun on Christmas. I usually was prohibbited from cycling in the house and now my wife strongly discourages my shooting guns in the house.

The GSG-1911s are .22s, I have one also.

Kimber Kool Aide alert! No offense.


Here are a few in my opinion represent quality 1911's, if I didn't I wouldn't own them.

My first 1911 - Kimber Pro CDP II

Where did you pick these up? Do you plan to shoot them or just make them safe queens?

Safe Queens ? ALL of my Colts get shot. That's what they were made for.
I get them "here and there" and I've had some of them for awhile.
