    Here is a photo of my two current production Series 70 Colts.

    The other photograph shows my three Colt Commanders. The XSE Lightweight nickel/stainless on top, followed by the blue Model 04691, with a Model 04091U stainless on the bottom. The one on the bottom currently wears cocobolo medallion stocks in place of the pictured rubber stocks.

    Aw man, I am SOOOOO jonesing for one of those Commanders!

    Me too. Be careful lusting after those Colt Combat Commanders. They do have a way of getting to you. I got interested in them at the Houston Gun Show a few weeks back. One thing led to another and the price kept going up for the gun plus desired gunsmithing tuneup and improvements. Before long, I just gave up and ordered a new Wilson 4" Professional exactly like I wanted it. Hope to get it sometime this month.

    Good shooting and be safe.

    No current photos of them, but at present I have a Kimber Custom TLE II and two S&W 1911SC's, one full size and one bob-tailed commander-size.

    I love 1911's because I shoot better with them than with any other handgun I've ever had or tried. My TLE II is my all-time favorite so far; so satisfying to shoot! The bob-tailed Smith is my favorite concealed carry weapon but I still alternate it with the full-size Kimber.

    One of these days I plan to buy a Wilson CQB, but haven't decided which size and options yet.

    YES!!! Fool with me or my guns and your a dead man.

    Congratulations R. Scott, you will receive a new 1911 of your choice........:D

    I've had my eye on a 70 series repro to build on. Something to pass on to my son someday. I'll take one in stainless please. :p

    I've been seriously considering a Springfield GI model... those are some sweet pistols for the price! (A new one can be had for under $500)

    OK, I am going to admit to doing one of the dumbest things I have ever done in my life. I regret it to this day and wish I still had it. I sold a Gold Cup National Match eight years ago for $400.00. :( Whats worse is the fact that I can't even remember why I sold it. I sure wish I had it now. I believe I bought it from my Dad for about $200.00 and it was in "like new" condition.:(:(:( I am so ashamed.
