(of sorts) today and some folks want to trot out their examples and well wishings. Never one to miss a gathering, I humbly submit my small family of 1911s...
Clockwise from top left is a Smith & Wesson PD, a Sig Sauer Blackwater, a Colt Defender and finally, a Kimber Pro Raptor II. All in .45 ACP and all similar in their 1911ishness.
Notably missing is an early 1940 era Colt that I am still searching for. That, is my project for this year... find a WW II Colt 45... lots a luck cowboy. ;)
I do note that my birthday is in a couple of days, perhaps the planets will align causing it to rain vintage 1911 pistols in Alabama. ;)
Happy 100th birthday 1911...
Those sure are purty!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it. Like any family, it takes awhile to put it together and you still kind of end up with what you end up with. ;)
ReplyDeleteGeez those are some nice guns. I have been looking to get a Colt Defender myself and I think Christmas might be too far away...thank goodness for b-days! lol. Don't forget all the neat toys you get to buy with each new gun too...that's probably my favorite part hehe. This place has some fun toys http://www.pxsupply.com
