r/1911

Happy to have picked up my first 1911 today. This is a new in box Les Baer 45 ACP Ultimate Tactical Carry.

Planning on breaking in tomorrow.

And I love them both in their own special way

Quick little edit buddy did for me. Thinking about grabbing these grips for my Vickers. Pretty rad imo!

Picked up my first 1911 today. Colt Government model. I love it.

1970 Colt LW Commander .45acp

Seems just right on the ol Colt Gunsite.

Man I love this thing. Simple, effective, classic.

Upgraded my cold weather carry to this Springfield. pretty happy with it so far- other than the original optics plate needing extraterrestrial strength to remove with all the red loctite they used from the factory.

Been looking for a blued Delta for a while. Not that they aren’t out there, it’s just kind of a cult pistol and people charge a premium. I don’t really care for the newer production models and recently let mine go with the intention of finding an older one. I finally found this one for a price I was willing to pay. And, aside from the slide stop, it’s all stock. Finding one of these that hasn’t been “customized” is also difficult. I’m super jazzed.

Have always wanted a 1911, friend needed some cash so 500 bought her. Any thoughts?

The two-tone on top is the new one. It was sold as used but looks unfired. While these are both Colt Railed Commanders, they couldn’t be further alike. The Hicks is tight and rattle free. The two-tone model rattles like a modern Colt.
