What 1911s do you own? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I wanted to see what 1911s everyone owns. I figured the best way would be to start a poll to keep an accurate, easy, running total. I thought it would be interesting to see which is the most popular 1911. I also thought it would be good informtion but I kinda forgot why.

I don't own any 1911's because if I did, I'd never go to work. I'd only want to shoot all day every day.

Colt MK-IV Series 80 in 9mm- sentimental value as it was the very first pistol I paid for.

Springfield GI- Modded out digital camo, gunner grips, various and sundry parts and controls of high quality from Wilson Combat and Ed Brown. Probably the handgun I have the most fun shooting.

Smith and Wesson stainless w/ laser grip- worst trigger of the bunch...still waiting for it to smooth out after some 1000 rounds through the pipe.

Para Ordnance C 7-45 (which was not on your list above)- My carry 1911...the LDA trigger is a work of art...the smoothest trigger I have EVER had the pleasure of stroking. It is also a very accurate gun.

Yes, I have an affinity for the 1911!

I have...

2 Kimbers, 1 Infinity by SVi, 1 Vega framed Marvel Conversion unit, 1 Parord, and 1 Caspian XFR Kit.

Brickboy240 · 03-17-2008, 10:24 AM

1953 Colt Govt Model (blued...and well worn)

1974 Colt Combat Commander (satin nickle finish)

Springfield GI Stainless (bought 6 years ago)

All three have various mods, mostly internal and to ensure a crisp triggerpull and reilability. Spring swaps, polished hammer sear engagements, Wilson extractors/ejectors, etc.). Old school...but they are all accurate and reliable.

Did you guys vote for all that you own? I wish I culd have put a few more options up but the poll only allows for a measly 10 options

ichy_trigger · 03-17-2008, 10:40 AM

I have a couple of STI's and one Springfield.

Gantz · 03-17-2008, 11:00 AM

1 STI for now.. Another one or 2 in a little over a year after I graduate if they're still available.
