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

[Born2vette]

Sringfield Range Officer Target in 45. I must of PM’d/texted CM 30 times about various 1911s before settling on this. It was CM approved and a nice shooter in stock form.

Been up and down ladders and sliding across the roof so a cheap chest/shoulder holster for today. 10mm ria.

 

[KokomoDave]

I had my USArmy tribute pistol in a freek forge holster and matching spare magazine carrier. I almost wore my Hill Country aircraft pilot shoulder rig but thought the peeps at Arni's would have their tighty whities in a twist. It ain't like Bloomington but close...
Today is my daughter and mom's birthday. Yeah, they shared the same date.
The LPD officer that was getting his to-go order wouldn't apprehend my grandson for the crimes he commited so his great uncle is gonna have to do it.

4 of us had 1911s at the Northern Indiana meet, shoot, and eat today. So a tribute to Tim was in order. We lined up and fired a mag in his honor

My Shooting buddy and I lined our 1911's up Friday. His is a Kimber, Stainless mod, mine is a Rock Island 1911 A1. We fired a magazine volley and a moment for CM.
Never met Tim personally, but liked his persona. Im also a Retired Refrigeration Repair Tech, and understand a lot of his expertise. Tough work, and glad he enjoyed his 1911's. He earned it.

Looks like it's time to dust this one off.

 

[Chance]

Yep, time to do it again!

I did Tuesday, does that count?

 

[Cameramonkey]

I lack a 1911, but I have a pocket knife I bought from him near the end. I cherish that knife and the time at his kitchen table chatting along with his lovely bride as she sat nearby in the living room working on a sewing project.

So I shall carry that instead.

 

[keeph8n]

Do the 2011 variants count or is that too much heresy for purists?

 

[COOPADUP]

I may be wrong here, but I believe any 1911 is acceptable.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I may be wrong here, but I believe any 1911 is acceptable.

Yes. This is correct.

 

[keeph8n]

Well hell yeah then

 

[KellyinAvon]

I did Tuesday, does that count?

NO!! Do it again on 9/1. You can carry a couple extra mags, don't have to carry your gunny sack full of mags unless you want to. We have rules here

 

[bobzilla]

wait, that's sunday. I always carry a 1911 on weekends.

EDIT: if I had more disposable income the truck gun would also be a 1911 but alas it's not.

 

[LtScott14]

I'm Locked and loaded with 2 spare mags. Going to call my friend and see if he can throw some lead downrange.RIA 45Acp, 1911A1 Parkerized finish, WW2 grips,
Here is to Tim, Church mouse! Oohrah!

 

[ditcherman]

I may be wrong here, but I believe any 1911 is acceptable.

Yes. This is correct.

Even a Sig 1911?!?

I think that’s thin ice.

 

[jimC2]

I carry one every day.

The 10mm is at home that I acquired from Mouse. The Pro-Tech TR3-Swat is almost always with me.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

I'll carry my 3" on Sunday but for now here's my house 1911
