Stir the 1911 sub forum up a bit.
I'm a 1911 guy and I think we need to build a little enthusiasm fire under this sub section.
How about Mr. Riceboy72? putting in a few pictures of your SA Operator, maybe even you and the girlfriends side by side (with her holding them?) had to try.
Maybe we can just add pics of different ones to get something happening here. Let's try to help that fella out with his Rock River, Rock Island inquiry too. I shot one, know a guy that has one but haven't played enough to give him a good solid answer. I'd buy it but course people say I'd buy anything.
Feel free to drift off topic, totally unrelated personal issues welcome, if it's funny it flies, rocket science, technical terms and measurement in less than half pounds discouraged unless you want and then it's ok.
I'd plant a picture but I'm suppose to be putting an end to crime as we know it and well today I'm just more into firing up this 1911 section. No lurking on the sidelines you lurkers, jump in, be recognized. If you don't got a 1911 or anything remotely similar perhaps you could submit a reason why you don't, say 1000 words or less? Or maybe better why you want one. If you own say 6 or so, maybe why I gotta have one more? Let the games begin.

The day I brought it home, sold my Rock Island tactical model to put towards this:
Last year. Straight trigger, some internal work, fitted slide stop. Currently has different sights as well.
I'll stick to single sided safeties, thankyouverymuch 
Fitted a high ride beavertail grip, Clark's recoil spring plug

We're off to a good start already. Proverbial thing of beauty. Was that your primary ccw prior to the possible new M&P transition?

Well dear Sir, you can start by posting a picture of it!
I am .45 guy but only own one 1911 with some lame grips of the Punisher.

Yes, the 5". It still is the primary carry until I get a new holster body, mag pouch, and 9mm dies - I'm going to run the thing hard before I trust my life to it.

Ok, I found a pic of a Kimber with my doggie handles and one of the guys Colts that he had somebody pimp out. I hung the birdseye maple handles on it. Haven't talked him out of it yet but the life ain't over yet.

My cousin just bought a Raptor, they do look pretty and his runs well and is accurate to boot.
How do you like that Taurus? They seem to have alot of the nice stuff that guys want but are very reasonbly priced. A few of the Sig 1911's have gone thru the academy here and they seem to consistently have major problems.
The Smith & Wesson entry is suppose to have good reports but I got nothing to back that info up with.
The world knows that I'm on a quest for a Dan Wesson Cbob, it will happen someday. The quest continues.
