I'm always down for another pic thread.

BTW the book is because I was looking for a background (couldn't find a Springfield catalog) and just though "well they kick ass and so does the 1911". It made sense to me at the time (I should have been asleep ;) ).

i would LOVE :hearts: the 10mm....:drool:

[Apprentice]

And this one is a fine shooter. Just old school rack grade accuracy but reliable as a hammer with hardball or JHPs and will run dirty through about a 1000 rounds when I finally cleaned her up.

You'll NOT be sorry with his grips!

I have a set of the horned lizards on my EMP.

Do a google search for "Ken Lunde and EMP" to see his photos of an EMP wearing them. You'll definitely make up your mind then.

Like others have said, post the picture. We all started our collections somewhere. That is a great 1911 you have, it will give you many great years of use.

One of my favorite 1911's to shoot at the range is my STI Spartan. Nothing fancy, but it works every time, and is very accurate. I use it almost every time someone wants to learn about shooting the 1911. There is just something about that gun, that makes me love shooting it.

No one will ever give you trouble about posting a picture of a 1911, except maybe a Taurus. There are several of us that would rank it as the worst feeling, and shooting 1911 on the market.

I would love to see pictures of your 1911.

[bac1023]

Post the Norinco. We do want to see it.

[gruntmedik]

Here are mine. SA Loaded, and the other is a Rem Rand frame with an Ithaca slide I got when my Papaw died.

That picture is better than most of the ones posted. It shows the youth, spending time, enjoying, learning, and studying our great sport/hobby.

There is nothing better than being able to share your passion about firearms, and the 1911 with others, and especially your family. I think it is great every time I see a picture with youths shooting. It is the future of our sport!

I don't care if you adopt me.

I just want a couple of your 1911's. We all know that fathers usually spoil their sons and "share" their nice collection of guns.

Please tell me the best way to get a few of your 1911's. Even if it is to only borrow them for a few years. A well built 1911 will out-last us. So what is a few years?

Maybe do something like the holster library. Try one before you buy it? I would be willing to pay shipping both ways, if I could "borrow" a few of your 1911's.

Let me know what works best for you? Adoption? You could then qualify for a tax write off. Library, I can borrow from?

:wavey:I will do whichever works best for you?:wavey:

Wow! Looks too pretty to shoot.

[srothman]

Wow! Looks too pretty to shoot.


Never to pretty to shoot. I would not use it to go take a week long course, but I will shoot it. I have confidence in the gun to make it through the class, but I have other 1911's with a more durable finish I would take.

I even take my engraved guns and shoot them. Some of the people where I shoot think I am crazy because of the guns I actually shoot.

The only guns I do not shoot on a regular basis are the ones that belong to my father. They are nothing fancy, but could never be replaced, if damaged, or lost. These guns are shot once or twice a year. September 5, marks one year since my father passed away. I will take his guns to the range over the weekend and shoot them.

I could not imagine buying a gun, and not shooting it. The only reason not to shoot a gun is because of the loss in value. I am a shooter who collects gun, I do not collect guns just to have them, or for an investment. I will never sell most of these guns, so resale means nothing to me.

I am starting to try and collect some of the WW II Colt's. The only reason I would not shoot one of them is if it was original, and not safe to shoot it.

My FFL also has an indoor shooting range. I usually pick up a gun, use one of their offices to break it down, inspect, clean, and oil the gun, and then shoot it. I usually like to shot 100 - 200 rounds through it, then I take it home and clean it. This one will be no exception.

Good for you. :thumbsup:

I, too, can't see owning a firearm I wouldn't shoot. And, like you, I have some that were passed to me by my Grandpa that are somewhat valuable, but are occasionally shot.

I can't think of a greater honor for your Father's guns than to shoot them. :angel:

Will it feed HPs?

The work was done by Novaks (http://www.novaksights.com/index.htm ). The grips are customs made by Terrence Sealey (tstoffer1@juno.com) or visit his eBay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/Sealeys-Custom-Wood-Grips . He now has a Colt Officer/Defender mold and can make custom grips if your interested. He is the best there is.

My problem now is it is to nice to carry. Almost.

What precisely did you have them do? I have a Colt Defender and I'm about to send it to Novak for sights, new grip safety and MSH (I have and am sending w/ the gun). I'm curious to know what else you had done. It looks FANTASTIC!

Those pics came out great, bac! Crisp focus, nice highlights. Now if I can just talk you into using some different backgrounds. :supergrin:

Thanks SC.

I've been working on improving my pics. :supergrin:

In fact, I finally got the carpet color right and now you guys want me to use a different background altogther. ;)

I am finally figuring out the picture thing as well. It just takes some practice. I have actually been using cheap place mats from WalMart as my backgrounds.

If you do a search over a sigforum for Dr. Lunde, he has a couple of great posts about how to take great pictures.

I personally like the pink carpet. I think it looked great with some of the guns.:supergrin:

:rofl:

Yeah, I was getting too much heat for it though.

It is actually burgundy. The flash of my new camera made it look pink. Until I got my high res camera, I never heard anything about the color. ;)

SC, I also tried my new lighting technique with my Classic Custom. I think they turned out well also. They are different due to the gun's mirror bluing on the slide.

It still brings out the details though.

You either need a light box to place the gun in, or a difuser on the light. If you look you are getting a reflection of the light on the slide of the gun.

The best thing to do is natural lighting outside, on a tripod.

You can make a light box, for under 20.00 using PVC pipe, and thin white material. If you want, I can take pictures of what I use. It cost me about $14.00 for the box, and about $20.00 for the lights.

Your camera should also have a white balance, which will eliminate the "pink" carpet.

My biggest problem is that I know how to take good pictures, now have all the tools and equipment, I just don't have the time to set everything up, and do it.

I still like the pink carpet, it added character to your pictures.

Yeah, you can see the light in the slide. I sort of did that on purpose to show the mirror finish.

I'll keep experimenting.

I live in a pretty tight development with a bunch of young kids around. Its difficult to take gun pics outside without the neighbors raising an eyebrow.

I thought about doing a setup like the one you describe as well.

Some sweet guns in this thread!!!

Did you ever hear me talk about using a white sheet? Essentially you put the gun down with full bright sun on it through a window and hold a white sheet up behind the camera so the sun has to pass through the sheet to light the gun ( assuming you are using a tripod and automatic shutter timer). The sheet disperses the light much like a light box. That's how I did these.

I have a few I can share. Excuse the pictures, my photography skills are awful compared to most of the others posted.

A few Colts, far left Yost Signature Grade, middle Yost-Bonitz 1* (matched pair), and right new Series 70 (probably off to Heirloom Precision shortly).

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/cookieguy-guns/P1000587-1.jpg

Gemini Customs (center), Wilson Combat CQB bottom, Yost-Bonitz 1* (matched pair), and S&W 640 custom by Gemini (not a 1911, but I like the picture and the gun).

Kimber Ultra SIS, SIS Rail (have a Pro on order to have the full set)

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/cookieguy-guns/P1000591.jpg

One of these days I will have to get out all of my 1911's and take a family photo.


I would LOVE to have those SIS..... NICE...

[srothman]

I would LOVE to have those SIS..... NICE...

Thanks, I have been waiting for the Pro, just to have all three. I really like Kimber 1911's for the cost, and think they are good quality. I have quite a few different Kimber 1911's.
