J/K Provide tidbits on said equipment if you'd like: Where you got it? How much? What do you shoot? Favorite gun? ETC.

I'll go first, This is my first 1911 so I figured I'd get one with some flash to it.
Not actual picture (haven't recieved gun yet. Hurry up UPS) But a stock photo should suffice.

I know what General George S. Patton, Jr. would have said about that one! "rlol" :evil2:
Oh really what would he have said? My Patton needs to be refreshed.

I guess that's why they don't only come only in black. Watch out for muzzle flash. :coolgleamA:

My new to me series 70. Bought from a family friend that bought it new in the mid 70's. It's seen decades of carry and shows it. I replaced the sights, and added new pachmyers to freshen it up. I grew up shooting this pistol, so it's really great to call it my own. :mrgreen:

I love the character older carried guns have. Thats a nice one. :drool:

I had set screws put in the slide to fill in the holes left from the Bomar rib sight that was on it! I still have the sight though, maybe I'll put it back on one day, it just screams 1977. :mrgreen:

OK, move over Taurus 1911 in Stainless and Gold....just picked up my latest purchased from my FFL.
It is a Taurus PT945. It is extreemly light weight, at least unloaded.

This is my newest (and favorite) pistol...

Image

It's a Dan Wesson V-Bob (Valor Bobtail). Solid forged stainless steel 1911 goodness!

So far I've put 800 rounds down the pipe without a malfunction of any kind. This thing runs like a Deere! :coolgleamA:
