Favorite 1911 Model.

[1911Sooner]

Give me a good ol' 70 series GI with good sights. I don't really need a beavertail, checkered front strap, ect. As long as it has a match grade barrel and external extractor I'm happy.

70 series GI 1911 with an external extractor? Typo or am I missing something?

 

[1911Sooner]

Yes thanks, early morning typo! I don't like external extractors.

If I had an extra grand in my pocket, and a 1911 was on my wish list, I would get one of these...

Smith & Wesson Gunsite model...

It's just your basic, simple, no-nonsense .45 auto. Single sided thumb safety, basic commander style hammer, beavertail, Videcki style trigger and a decent set of Novak's on top. Not a bunch of extended this and extended that. Just your basic combat .45.

Now then.

If money were no object, meaning nothing to me, and I had about $2300 to spend I would get one of these...

The Ed Brown Sheriff Jim Wilson edition...

It too is a simple, no-nonsense .45, but just slicked up a little. Read the write up about it in Shooting Times here...

Hey GED, I've got one of those Gunsite 1911's. It is my first 1911. I was looking for something in a 1911 variety that was light enough to carry comfortably. I stumbled across one of these right here and bought it. I love it, but the bad thing is that it makes me want to buy another 1911...

Dunno...I haven't seen/heard from him in quite a spell.

Maybe I should give him a ringy-dingy.

I thought it was awfully sexy.

Not a "bad" looking .45. I just never really cared for FLGRs or bushingless bull barrels on 1911s.
