Colt Double Eagle and my Regulator. Now, is that a fist full of knife or what?

Very nice DJ! Don't see many of those Double Eagles around here.

Thanks rth! I ran into that one about 10 years ago. I couldn't pass it up.

I have this thing for 1911 .45's.

I even like "old" .45's
Top one is a Cimarron SAA in .45 Colt, bottom one is a Colt 3rd Generation SAA .45 Colt

Welcome Fred!

I have not chronographed the 460V. I've never shot anything with the 460V but pumpkins and cans. Unfortunately, they do not make the 460V anymore. It carries well in a shoulder holster and not too bad on a belt. They still make the snub nose though. Crazy to think that it has NEARLY as much energy at the muzzle as a .308 Win.

Nice collection! I don't have any 1911's. My dad inherited an old US Army 1911, manufactured by Singer, I think. I know it's not a Colt manufacture.

My grandpa carried it religiously when he was fishing and digging ginseng. It's no safequeen.

Edited: Only 500 Singer manufactured were made. I'll bet it's NOT one of those! And seems like I remember it being a typewriter maker, so probably Remington Rand.

Nice collection DJ!

Those are some beautiful examples of Old Slabsides. I like just about any pistol, but there is just something magical about a 1911 that makes you want to use and carry it everywhere.

You guys are making the wait on my 1911 all that much harder

The Commander is my carry gun, the Gold Cup is my "Sunday-go-to-
Meetin'" gun, the Springfield was going to be a pin gun but I never got that far with it, and the Double Eagle is my workhorse gun.

I've been drooling over the new Remington 1911, but does a guy really need 5 .45 automatics?

when does a guy not need more guns? (exluding financial factors)
