9/1. Making it "Carry a 1911 day" in memory of Churchmouse and Bigtanker

[Mij]

Best I could do, been tote’n it all day.
This one’s for you CM.

Nice pistol and I like the original 50's countertop/sink there.

What holster is that? I like it and need one for the TRP.

Milt Sparks summer comfort with the rough side out. So it sits in place pretty good.

9/1/22 - In your memory CM



Already on my schedule for 9/1/23. Oops, I see I neglected to turn on alert. Doubt INGO will let me forget !

 

[Hardscrable]

Just thought, a .45 instead of 10mm, CM would give me a pass. But a flush, 8 rnd. mag not a 10 rounder might get me a couple points deducted.

You know, I think I may come to really enjoy celebrating Tim's legacy each 1st of September

I did fix a cheeseburger for lunch. I may move down to a smaller 1911 next year though...

One of a number of posts that have raised the pollen count around here.

I've heard those individual words before, but never strung together like that. I'm trying to figure out how it's possible.

I've had them in the past, just not now...my son does have a 9mm RIA 1911.....he won't let me carry it.....I will have one someday......

 

[Michigan Slim]

Every day. God speed sir.

Cheeseburgers for dinner here tonight as well.

When I wanted to get back into a 1911 I asked Tim a bunch of stupid questions, and he gave me some pretty good answers. I ended up with this, and plans for Springfield to customize.

Colt 1911 .45acp. In your memory CM.

 

[BigRed]

EDC plain Jane with plenty of scratches, holster wear, some dings, and grips that are starting to look a bit smooth around the edges...finish is wearing thin as well.

Has fitted Wilson Combat internals and a trigger set at 2lbs with a shortened reset.

Jane knows it's what's inside that counts.

BTW, that last line in my post seems to be something CM knew as well.

No 1911 here, so I carried my WW1 revolver.....hope that's good enough!

Loved discussing racing and cars (there a lot alike) with CM

 

[DadSmith]

CM was the one that got me interested in 1911's. He had great knowledge and he helped me out alot with mine. Especially setting up my 10mm to handle full power loads.

Ronin 45acp in a Freekforge holster.

 

[mcapo]

A 10mm done CM style.

 

[Steel and wood]

CM you are going to be missed by all. Thank you

When I got back from shopping earlier...
Beware the old fat man with a Dan Wesson 1911.
