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 guess that's why they don't only come only in black. Watch out for muzzle flash.jonrjen wrote: Well, I glad I'm not the only one to have picked one of these little Bling Beast up. I must say though, for the money it fires great, no problems (other than some light hearted ribbing). And I did change out the grips to Hogue.

Re: Showing Off
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.

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

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.

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.

Re: Showing Off
This is my newest (and favorite) pistol...
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!
