I have the same S&W 1911 as no2gates shows in his post. But I haven't fired it yet. Some day....

I'm kind of new here, but this was the first thread that caught my eye. Here is a photo the gun that both my Wife and I use when we compete in the Heavy divisions of 3-gun. Sure some will scoff at the external extractor but this thing is one heck of a workhorse so far.

Thanks... as a side hobby to competition shooting, I also love me some photography.

Thanks Mark! I didn't know if I would like the standard peanut butter color but it does look really darn good in person. Add in some dirt and some carbon buildup and it is one heck of a looker! Shoots pretty good too!

Hey DFW,

At our local Monthly Match...(this was NEW YEAR'S DAY!!) we have a gentleman that uses a very similar 1911.

Not sure if I caught him in the squad pic?

We only set up this bay of steel, and were doing the "El Presidente" on paper in the next bay.. (didn't get a pic...)

Later, Mark

There’s not a danged thing wrong with that external extractor.

I think I like you already! LOL I couldn't agree more. But you know that there are "those" people out there.

The picture’s sure not as pretty as yours though…. I’m a heretic as well.

Pretty photo or not, that is a darn good looking 1911!

My first centirefire handgun was a 1911, but I have not owned one for around 25 years. I fixed that yesterday.

 

[PinnedandRecessed]

I like this pistol more and more every time I shoot it. It is rapidly becoming a favorite.

+1 for Dan Wesson 10mm. My Silverback is devastatingly accurate and reliable
