God's Gun: Official 1911 Picture Thread

[JandK]

My Kimber LW the only parts that are still Kimber are barrel,slide and frame. Ran decent from the factory,had some minor hiccups first 500 rounds,8k later it runs well. I don't baby my carry gun but the toughness of the finish leaves a lot to be desired.
I have relocated to Rusk so need to find a ceracote shop up here. It's also chambered in 45 acp. Sights are trijicon

Yeah, but in all seriousness the guy said he knew me, I had caused problems, and there were other folks who had problems with me.

I really wanted his list of the folks who had problems with me. If I've screwed anyone over, for any definition of that phrase, I will make it right. But I can't if I don't know who the alleged victims are.

Ben, for whatever my opinion is worth, you've always been helpful in helping me and I thoroughly enjoy your reasoned and informative posts. You, and the others mods, have way more compassion than I'll EVER have and I appreciate that, it allows SOME of us to have a rational, albeit spicy, conversation. Thanks for all you do.

Bringing a lump of rust back to life;
This is a restoration of a true iconic gun, the Colt 1911 made in 1914. Chambered in .45 ACP made for the U.S. Army. This firearm no doubt seen the war theaters of WW1 & WW2. The barrel was replaced due to use I would assume. This gun was just rotting away somewhere until I acquired it and brought it back to life. If you enjoy the video, consider subscribing for more restorations. Up next is an M1 Garand found in a river back in the 1980's by a scuba diver.

That right there is neat. I sent the You tube link to some friends. Thanks for sharing.

That would take some time & work, and would have its own satisfaction. Fun. Enjoy.

And that isn’t a USGI 1911 either.

Pot metal doesn't hold up well where the original designer called for steel.

Pick up this neglected an fugly SA loaded yesterday for a ridiculous low price as a project. After a couple hours of scrubbing, detail strip, an much needed grip swap for another set of crappy ones came out decent.

It’s missing sites, needs sorings, an gi guide rod setup an I think it’ll be a good shooter passed functions test just fine.

Oof. Double charge? Squib?

I know Nighthawk has sometimes had spotty QC here and there since their inception but I’m assuming this might have been ammo related? If not, there’s no excuse for a gun that costs that much to do that with quality standard ammo.

The 1911 is all steel.

An m67 frag grenade is all steel.

Not a coincidence.

This is sacrilege to me for posting here but got this last week gotta say it’s a helluva sweet shooter.

 

[caliburn]

This is my 1911, 10 mm Rock Island Ultra TAC. I changed up the grips and changed the ambi safety to a regular one.
