Howdy all,

Just wondering!

1. What 1911 do you use in Wild Bunch?
2. How many 1911's do you own?
3. If you carry a 1911 for CCW what one and why?
4. When did you first shoot a 1911?

I just thought it would be fun to know.

As for me, I currently use a Colt series 80 1911 for WB, I also have a very old Remington Rand that sometime I will use it for a match or two.

I currently have 11 x 1911 ( 9mm, 45 acp, and 10 mm) and really enjoy them.

I carry my newest one almost every day. It is a Springfield TRP carry fastback.

I first fired my friends dad's 1911 on a camping/ hunting trip when I was about 15 years old. Loved them ever since.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance if you reply,

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Mine are;

1. Springfield Mil-Spec or a Colt Series 70 

2. I think around 8. would have to check the safe to be sure. Have .22, 9mm, and 45 acp.

3. My EDC is a Ruger SR 1911 in commander length, Great gun and easy to conceal.

4. first fired on in the mid 80's. Only had my Grandfathers 45acp.

Didn't really get into 1911's until Wild Bunch.

Happy Thanksgiving

Before the stroke which left me with a bad right hand and arm (and I haven't got rid of any guns) I might be able to shoot again it's only been 3 years in March.

1. Usually a Kimber super match. but occasionally one of my many Colts.

2. Somewhere between 15 -20.  When I was dealing in them I usually had 150 + at all times.

3. Kimber Ultra CDP in 45acp  (an old one I bought when they were first introduced)  fired thousands of rounds NEVER failed.

4. Started shooting one in the late 50's. Carried one for work in the 60s. Didn't compete with one until the late 60's.

1. My WB gun is Remington R11 / my wife’s is a Rick Island mil spec

2. have 6 in 45 acp - 2 Remington, 2 Kimber , 2 Rock Islands

     one Para Ord in 9mm

3. Kimber CDP is my main carry gun

4. introduced to 1911 in the Marines back in ‘63

 

1. A Tisas milspec or an Argentine with a colt slide that was fitted with target sights.

2. A S&W Scandium Performance Center Commander in .45ACP.

3. 6 here right now including a WW1 Colt 1911.

4. When I was a kid, probably 10 or 11 years old.

 

A Remington R1 that Bodie 601 turned into something special;

Les Baer Premiere II out of the box;

Springfield flat front 1911 with MMC sights, with an Ed Brown barrel, link and bushing fitted to it;

Colt Series 70 with better sights and a 15 lb spring kit.

Sig 365 for EDC.  Are you guys nuts? 😮

Cheers,

Currently using a Colt gold cup trophy model. I'm liking it.

Okay, am I the only one who keeps a Wolff 1911 spring pack on hand for when I buy  a used 1911?

Depending on application, I have springs from Wolff, ISMI, Springco, Wilson Combat, Colt, EGW, Thunder Mountain and others. 

Like Boggus, I have used springs from many suppliers, but recently have gone with a lot of Springco.     We are lucky to have Boggus to take care of a lot of problems with Wild Bunch guns.  With the loss of Bodie and Goatneck in recent years he is one of the few who specializes in Wild Bunch guns. He is VERY good with them.

Springfield Garrison is my Primary.  Backup is a Springfield Loaded modifies to be close to a Marime M45.  I've also shot a Tisas Raider on occasion.

I have 11 1911s total including one in 9mm and one .22.  Am currently considering picking up one in .38 Super.

 

My WB 1911 is a Kimber I've had for 20 years.

I also have an STI Spartan 9mm, Springfield EMP 9mm, and a 2011 in .40 S&W.  So 2, 3, or 4 depending on how you count.

I keep saying I'm going to get a custom 1911 but maybe I will wait until I retire.

I used to carry the EMP more but I bought a Shield and it's close enough that when I carry an auto, that's what I carry.

It’s an honor to have shooters like yourself using my guns. 

We have paired down to three. Loco Poco Lobo shoots a Colt Series 70 and I shoot a Springfield Mil Spec. Also have a Springfield RO just in case either one of wants to shoot modern.

Happy New Year!!!!

I haven't been here in a while. 🙂

1. What 1911 do you use in Wild Bunch?  Two Cimarrons (Armscor), one polished, one nickle.  Traditional.
2. How many 1911's do you own?  Three - the above two and a Kimber Compact Aluminum.
3. If you carry a 1911 for CCW what one and why?  No, too big and heavy for me and usually too hot in Texas to cover up.
4. When did you first shoot a 1911?  When I bought the Kimber in 2000.  I had never shot a handgun until 1998.  It was quite finicky and needed a lot of break-in. The Armscors have been flawless.
