Former West Texas Rancher Relocated to Austin

[Moonpie]

Very nice! My DW love story started at a local gun shop where I was looking at a new Kimber KHX and just happened across a used stainless Specialist so I asked to see it. As soon as I picked it up I said "Holy shit" and I was in love. The fact they let me jew them down to 1100 bones for it didn't hurt either

Similar experience.
Was in a Mom&Pop gun shop.
They had several DW’s on the shelf.
Asked to see the Guardian and the drool started. It was awful.
The gun is a real pleasure to shoot.
Softest shooting 1911 I have.
Runs very reliable too.
The DW bobtail Commander in 10mm is on my list.

Son of a bitch! Love it...

Yeah. It shoots so well I really don’t like carrying it in public, lol.
I would hate to be in a situation where I had to use deadly force. I do my absolute best to maintain an extremely high level of situational awareness and avoid things/people/places that look shady.
If ( God forbid) a shady situation comes to me, I would rather have my plain Jane stock G19 in the evidence locker with a case number engraved on it than the Silverback.

To sell items just become a paying member, or get in your 25 posts...

Yeah, and get pics up of your 1911s, even if you're not selling. We LOVE 1911s here!

And welcome to the forum!

Besides, I only liked it out there bc I was running cattle and shit.

Well played!

I actually own something that you don't?!

Let's see your DW!

Ok

Not trying to ruin the 1911 orgy here, but it's still not a plastic gun so I don't feel bad. How y'all feel about the Sig 220/227s? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one

Apologies btw for the "racist" language I used earlier (according to the moderators). Didn't mean it that way at all.

Sort of. It’s a Kimber.
It isn’t all stainless.
It isn’t a Commander.
It isn’t a DW.
LoL

Some of them at least are solid steel. I'm looking at this one

If you can find one of the German 220's get it. They are a fine piece of metal. I have a newer one, and its nice to shoot, but not like the older 220s. Had a two-tone one back in the day, and I would love to have it back.

Why hasn’t OP posted pics of his new 1911 and SIG?

I hear that phrase from Hebrews more than anyone else. Shocked anything was said about it. Guess they have not been to a souk and witnessed tier one haggling. Bonus if you understand Hebrew and can follow along.

I love my 220. Love it even more after it was Burked.

Not sure how it quoted you. Fixed it.

You didn't hurt yourself doing that to it did you?

Not at all.

I haven't purchased a new 1911 in like 6 whole days, sir. Not sure which you're referring to. Lol. And the Sig purchase isn't final yet.
