I carry her daily, so she has plenty of wear character. I am hoping to build on my collection as funds become available.

I know she comes no where near the class of all the beauties that have been posted, but...she's mine!

Re: Post your 1911 beauties!
This is my latest acquisition and my first foray into the world of 1911's.
Nothing fancy, but it feels good. It will be heading with me to the range soon.
I added the Pachmayr American Legend grips and bought an additional 8-round Chip McCormick mag the day of purchase.
This handgun is about two years old and came used from a good friend of mine along with a case, an 8-round mag, and a 10-round mag with a grip extension.

Just picked up my first Detonics pistol. It's box stock except for the Tyler's grips and blue steel checkered MSH.

My one and only Para-Ordnance. She's a P12 made in 96. I picked her up for $500 several months ago and recently added the beavertail safety and the Hogue finger grips. The holster is a Desantis Cozy Partner and the ammunition is Winchester Black Talons alternated with Federal Hydra-shocks. If I have to shoot somebody, I want them to stay down.
Ben Franklin once stated that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. I tend to agree with him.

I put some new grips on the EMP, and the SIS needed a family photo.

Playing with settings on my camera and I thought this pic of my (well loved) Pro Carry was pretty neat.
