The S&W is paired with a Standard Folder and the Kimber with a one-of-a-kind custom bi-tone Officer's Folder. Both blades are made from CPM-S3OV steel.

Where do you find such a deal

The Combat Commander was my Pop's service sidearm...

Commercial model Colt made in 1917, still killing game 90 years later, nothing but head shots...

Nice!

Picked up a 4" Rock Island Armory MS 1911a1 today...

Been curious about the brand for a while and since I've been needing a mid-sized 1911 in my life I figured I'd give 'em a shot.......so to speak. It's not a true commander length, but it'll do just fine. It's park'd with a set of pretty basic wood grips, but those'll get replaced very soon. I'm thinking about installing an extended beavertail grip safety, an extended thumb safety, a commander style hammer, and a new trigger as well.

Enough talk, here are the pics...

I have always wanted one how are the 9mm kick compared to the .45

All mine are in .45acp, but I've been wanting a 9mm 1911 for a while now. I'll probably end up with an STI eventually...

Its not technically mine anymore, I gave it to my son when he graduated boot camp a while back...but here is his Baer Stinger.

VERY nice!

New grips and screws for the RIA came in yesterday!









Looks and feels MUCH better now...

Took some new 1911 family photos...

Not a 1911 but the grips are interchangeable with 1911 grips My Wife bought me for Christmas
My new Ruger Mark III 22/45 Lipseys Exclusive

Nice!

Finally got out to the range with the Rock Island MS 1911a1 this morning.





Took it out with the new SIG P220 and let a few fly. Only a few 'cause it was so damn cold outside I couldn't feel my fingers and reloading the mags was almost impossible. Still, it shot well. Feeding and extraction were flawless. The trigger is a little spongy compared to my other 1911s, but I must say that I am VERY impressed with this pistol. For an entry level 1911 with a 4" barrel it shot like a champ. Here's one of my best groups at 25yds...



Just goes to show that you don't have to drop a bundle on a 1911 to get a solid shoot'n pistol. We'll see how she holds up over time, but I am extremely pleased so far...

Awesome family photos and some great shooting there SNIPER !!

Had a chance to snap some better pics of the Spartan...

Got out and put 250rds through the Spartan this morning. I have to say I'm VERY pleased with its performance. Had zero issues an no failures of any kind. The Spartan locks up tight as a drum and the action is smoothe as silk. The trigger is light and crispas well. Recoil is very minimal which allows for very fast target acquisition on follow-up shots. The adjustable rear sight was dialed in from the start and the fiber optic front post lit up like a laser. I love my .45 1911s, but this 9mm is one helluva fun shooter.

Here are two of the best targets of the day...

Ten rounds @ 10yds



Thirty rounds @ 25yds

The new grips for the Spartan arrived yesterday...

Those are so sick

Thank you Sir!

I think so too...
