I'll go first, This is my first 1911 so I figured I'd get one with some flash to it.
Not actual picture (haven't recieved gun yet. Hurry up UPS) But a stock photo should suffice.
I know what General George S. Patton, Jr. would have said about that one!
Oh really what would he have said? My Patton needs to be refreshed.

I guess that's why they don't only come only in black. Watch out for muzzle flash.

My new to me series 70. Bought from a family friend that bought it new in the mid 70's. It's seen decades of carry and shows it. I replaced the sights, and added new pachmyers to freshen it up. I grew up shooting this pistol, so it's really great to call it my own.

I had set screws put in the slide to fill in the holes left from the Bomar rib sight that was on it! I still have the sight though, maybe I'll put it back on one day, it just screams 1977.

Now that there is a pretty thing, but she's a little thick in the hips. nice grips though. the gun shop near me has one I've been eyeballing it for a bit. What caliber is it?

This is my newest (and favorite) pistol...
It's a Dan Wesson V-Bob (Valor Bobtail). Solid forged stainless steel 1911 goodness!
So far I've put 800 rounds down the pipe without a malfunction of any kind. This thing runs like a Deere!
