1911 thread. Post your 1911s. Polymerfags need not reply
>>30464421
Colt 1911 are so sexy.
>>30464430
Nice piece
I miss my 1911, traded this RIA for a 1942 Springfield 1903a3. Worth it.
The wait is killing me. Put a down payment on a Colt series 70 yesterday. Should be in to pick up on Tuesday-Wednesday after the holidays.
>>30464421
but what if i have a (partially) polymer 1911?
>>30464507
I have a rock island armory 1911 chambered in 9mm (I'm poor and only want to buy one type of ammo in bulk)
I don't have it with me now but I miss it dearly. Can't wait to buy a colt in 45 when I have the money. So sexy. Maybe my dad will give me his, he has an original GI issue from back in the day.
>>30464507
Dude your fun looks like shit. That silver on the bottom of the handle especially and the grips look like a nigger's dick skin.
If it gets you juicy, so be it. But I just gotta let you know... Bruh
>>30464553
the fact that you don't know what a mag well is leads me to discount your opinion.
I like the blue coating Colt puts on their 1911's but stainless is too fucking sexy

Fixed that for ya.
>>30464642
what is the bottom one?
>>30464981
Baer monolith heavyweight. Ordered with no fcs, no markings, 20 lpi checkering and some other options.
Also has the 1.5 inch at 50 yard guarantee, which may or may not be bullshit.

Why not? Is it bad? It doesn't seem any worse than a RIA and I'm willing to pay a little more for the faithful GI repro.
>>30464507
Jesus fuck that is the ugliest m1911 I've ever seen
>>30466175
yes
they are a very refutable brand, very underrated IMO. All everyone talks about is Springfield and even RIAs but I love my AO

Not looking for judgement, just a yes or no.
Does the M&P45 count as a 1911?
>>30467657
Maybe so. It's just that with 1911's, my eye is immediately drawn to the trigger guard and if there's that little scallop cut out I lose all interest.

Why doesn't colt make a reproduction of the m1911?
I may even prefer that more than a series 70.
>>30468138
Colt did make a good repro of an early 1911 some years ago, as well as a repro of a ww2 A1.
i wish they would bring them back.

They've made several. There's this one: >>30467570, then there are the WWI battle commemoratives.
Cimarron makes an imperfect M1911 repro that still looks really good.

>>30468138
They've released a WWI repro twice. Both fairly close to the 1911 centennial. The only difference is that the first run were standard and I think the 2011 models had the "100 years of Service" roll mark.

>"100 years of Service" rollmark
the reason I didn't buy one
>>30468240
i wish they would bring back a copy of the very earliest variant with the more ball shaped slide radiuses near the dust cover, rather than the more gradual radii. (see>>30468122)
THAT is something i never see on any repros besides maybe a Turnbull.
>>30464507
You know, I know Raceguns exist for a reason, and sometimes, I like full dust covers. I get it sometimes. I get that they have some features, at times, that are function over form.
But Jesus tap-dancing Christ, that's just a bridge too far. I'm sure it's a tack-driver, but come on, man.
>>30464507
>>30467150
jesus fuck why do they keep changing the term. I still call it VD for the most part, (the first time I heard the slang 'V-Card' I literally thought it was a card that tracked how long until your VD has cleared') I thought STD was current.
Goddamn
>>30464507
Oh look, the only gun worth taking seriously so far.
How much does a modern colt 1911 run for?
>>30469147
A standard blued 1991 has a $799 MSRP
Street price maybe a little less, but not much.
>>30469147
800-1200ish

Can't say I blame you. I love my RIA

Even though that rollmark is brutal. The 2011 era RIA pistols like that were excellent build quality.
I havent seen any recent RIA 1911's but I hope their quality is still good. The value is insane.

Am I allowed in here?
>>30469382
I have a friend with an ati tactical that has excellent fit and functionality. Just as good if not better than my springfield
>>30469443
not even that guy but yes
>>30469443
Uh, yes. Thats probably the cheapest 1911 i've ever seen new. And RIA makes a fine sub $1000 1911 and I would put it up against a colt or springfield any day.
What are the benefits of giving a 1911 a long slide? I like the way it looks in movies and stuff.
>>30469672
better sight radius, longer barrel, more weight to reduce recoil.

kimber fucking sucks
>>30466308
Was going to buy one along with my S&W 686 yesterday but dude said keep looking. I'll pick one up next Friday
>>30470137
Ah, I see.
I'm not trying to shit on you but mine is fantastic.
>>30470175
And there's the problem. Kimber has shitty quality control. They range from absolute garbage to really good. It's a complete roll of the dice what you'll get.
>>30470056
I think you're confusing a Ballester-Molina with a Systema Colt.
>>30464421

Newfag to 1911s here. So, it seems like 1911s are made by a bunch of different companies, kinda like AR 15s? What are the differences between them?

>>30470558
Got it at an auction came like that
>>30470571
Please replace the grips and screws. Your 1911 will appreciate that. Also, enjoy your purchase, saved it from a bubba.
>>30470591
I most definitely will
>>30464619
They don't buy, they steal....by glock, you mean hi point.
What does /k/ think about 9mm 1911s?
>>30470686
Not as fun a .38 Super 1911's
>>30466175
My OA is gtg. Magazine is shit, so replace it. Or shoot until the floor plate gives out and your pistol poops .45 ACP from the grip.
>>30469382
Good call, got her late 2011. The quality is absolutely outstanding for the price. I still can't believe that I barely spent over $400 on it brand new. Once I get my new Henry set up with some leather and optics though, I'll probably set my sights on a prettier 1911.
>>30470198
I'm on e of the lucky ones. My Kimber has had 1000+ rounds through it with one FTE and one FTF. I will say that the KimPro bluing is shit. I have a reverse two-tone and had to reblue my slide after 4 years. Other than that it runs good and was relatively cheep. All said to do it over again I might pull the trigger on a Remington R1
>>30470686
Do they have any feeding issues because of the lower muzzle energy?
>>30471747
They are more sensitive to magazine induced malfunctions.
I've shot a 9mm colt commander that functioned flawlessly, and a high dollar sti double stack 9 that was problematic.
I would personally stick with 45 in a 1911 and get a 9mm that was designed for that round.
>>30470537
>look up RIA
>Philippines
I'm not doubting you, but you sure they're good stuff? I'd really like a good 1911, but I'd rather not spend a lot of money.
Here is my M1911A1.
Not mine, but my favorite modded pistol. Really want to make one like this some day. Cut away mags and clear grips make me moist
>>30472290
No, really, they're decent.
The Filipinos know the value of a good 1911, since so it killed so many of them.
>>30472290
>but I'd rather not spend a lot of money
RIA is the way to go. My GI has been absolutely reliable with minimal upkeep, and is mil-spec. Buy one anon, you will not be disappointed.
>>30464421
I kind of want a compact 1911
would a 9mm be any better then .45 for this? Ive heard they have reliability issues and I don't know if the caliber would help this
garbage build kicks ass
>>30472876
why would you carry a compact 9mm 1911? its like you want double the weight with half the capacity of any other 9.
if you just wanted it for fun sure. except compacts suck to shoot compared to fullsize guns
>>30472876
Reliability problems with officer 1911s mostly came from using standard weight ammo without a full understanding of the geometry and physics involved in a 1911's feeding. Old officers were just chopped down 1911s. Bushingless, bull barrels and new recoil springs have improved the reliability significantly, but for maximum performance you want to use lighter bullet weights (like <200gr) because heavy bullets increase the cyclic rate of the much smaller and lighter (compared to Government models) slide, which causes extraction problems and bolt-over-base malfunctions.
>>30472962
guilty pleasure purchase. I have regular 1911s and glocks to carry but Ive always wanted a compact. I want far more impractical things so this doesnt feel too bad
>>30473102
so would 9mm be any better or worse then .45 in a gun like this or does it not matter that much?
>>30473152
9mm is generally not a problem, and there is reduced recoil and an extra bullet or two (depending on magazine). However, a lot of Officer 1911s are oversprung (to combat the aforementioned problems), so contrary to .45 Officers that like lighter than standard loads to run well, 9mm ones actually tend to prefer heavier than standard loads.

>>30473296

>>30467827
Yes. Clinton banned import of them years ago.
>>30470150
You won't be disappointed. They are very well made and an exact copy of the government model 1911A1.
I am a poorfag who has never bought a gun, only received hand me downs. I can snatch up a Ruger 1911, the smaller commander sized one. I am in love with the way it looks and that fucking huge bore. Should I pull the trigger, or am I dumb for even considering buying it as my first gun?
>>30466954
Fag.
>>30464507
Judging by your 1911 I'm gonna guess that you are Mexican and have spinners on your car.
>>30469443
It's a good quality. I own one just like it. I would suggest that if you can afford it, or can wait until you can, buy RIA's "Tac" or "Rock" series. They come with better sights and the ability to more easily switch out the sights.

>>30475022
One mirrion dorras
>>30474442
nope, Asian and i have factory alloys.
>>30471802
the problem with 9mm 1911s is that they need the round to be a bit more forward wrt the magazine. it's analogous to how .40 1911s need to be loaded to ~1.180" OAL for reliable feeding.
and the 2011 magazine issue has a simple fix: buy MBX magazines.
>>30475022
SVIs are about $3.5-4k these days. since you're not springing for some of the spendier options like a AET Schuemann Island barrel or a metal grip or basically any lightening on the slide (looks like it's just tri topped with a serrated top), it'll be toward the $3k side. you can go on SVI Gunbuilder and price it out.
or you could get a STI and save a few hundred bucks.

What extended mag/plastic bit is that? I want 10 round mags but not ones that look like ass hanging out of my grip.
Does anyone own a PSA 1911 yet?
So how reliable is an off the shelf 1911 from a company like Dan Wesson?
Say I wanted to go out and buy a Valor or maybe the specialist? Whichever model is basically a valor with a rail. Is it good to go after cleaning and lubricating it?
I know the high end race guns and custom stuff from the likes of Ed Brown, Les Baer, and others have a reputation of being so tight initially you need tools to get the bushing off, there's a recommended "break in" period where I suppose because the parts are so tight you might have some malfunctions and you basically need to gradually wear the parts just enough to where they function flawlessly then?
Note that I don't care about mud tests or shoving twinkies or other food in my gun. I just want to know if I can go buy a decent 1911, clean and lubricate it, and have it go bang and cycle as reliably as a plastic fantastic.
>>30476635

It was a bitch finding one. Finally found one in my LGS. I almost walked out without it, but they looked in a backroom and found one. Paid $899 plus tax, which is MSRP. Could've been better, but I really wanted one.
>>30476755
I usually see them at or above MSRP when in shops, so thats a great deal really.
Is this because Colt isn't making as many 1911's or do they just not give good discounts on the wholesale side of things?
Muh operator
>>30466617
that's actually a Ballester-Molina anon
they do have some internal parts in common though, much like a star pistol
>>30476762
fake?
>>30476764
I think it's just demand. Colt doesn't make as many series 70 guns compared to series 80. Apparently people really want government reproductions because it's similarly hard to find an AR15A4. Unfortunately, those repros are made in comparatively small numbers. I guess they think that everyone wants a 1911 with modern features.
>>30476769
For when the enemy never numbers more than 7 or 8 max.
>>30476789

STD is still current for most things such as the herp and AIDs but they now also use sexually transmitted infections for thing like yeast infection and staff as well as a few other things that used to me stds instead of stis but i do not remember. It is just easier to say std. STI changing its classification to STDs more and more is so we "stop alienating those who are sexually active"

>>30479370
Don't know if it's true or not, but I have read from a number of places that they've cut ties with Imbel and are having frames made in the US.
>>30479500

Also this is not confirmed yet. They just know they arent coming from Brazil anymore. There are rumors of Korea or America as the source.

They have a reputation for being low quality and pretty shitty. I would only get one if I was specifically interested in this gun for historical or pop culture reasons.

I'm wanting to add another .45 acp... I'm torn between the Springfield 1911 Champion Operator or a HK45c.
I'm really drawn towards another 1911 but just want to make sure that the 4" barrel is going to be reliable.
What do?
Saw this in a gun shop, shit brix, could not get my checkbook out fast enough because they had $425 on it 6 years ago

1918 "Black Army" Colt that was declared a "train wreck" by a world-class restorer
The Good:
* All major parts are original M1911 (not A1)
The bad:
* Rebuled
* Not the orginal mag
* some parts so worn I had to swap with USGI
The Ugly:
* U.S. Property scratched out
* Buffed to within an inch of its lfe
* Backup SN stmped under the grips
* Thick-ass reblue over pitting
