NL, I'm assuming you need a password to get into the page you linked
that picture to? Not viewable on this end, access forbidden. Find out
if they have a way to link via a public page versus your private one.
Make sense?

Sir North;
Pictures are not up to your usual quality. In fact, they look a lot like the ones I don't post, ie, invisible.
I'm thinking that if you don't take some pictures of my 1911's, they won't post with yours. Or did you already give that a try?

I did a bit of shooting today with my Sistema Argentine, and my Combat Commander. Range was 25 yards, shooting Red Dot, and the BD custom .45 design bullet. Both stayed in about 1 1/4", to 1 1/2" with thier favorite loads. Unfortunately, they like different loads, so it is not a one size fits all with this particular powder. I still need to try them out with Unique, Blue Dot, and 231, and see how they like those. I can certainly live with the accuracy, but for social purposes, I wouldn't mind a bit more velocity. You won't see me say that very often!

Waksupi;
Try a little 700X. I like Blue Dot a lot, but have never had it work as well in the .45 ACP as the faster powders. 700X is also a pretty clean burner.

My pet .45ACP load is 5.2 gr Red Dot behind a 200 gr lead SWC. Also like 4.9 gr Bullseye. Have used other powders... 700X, Unique... even Herko...
Anyway, this not being able to post pics is  . I had tried to link to SonyImagestation where I had uploaded some pics figuring if we can't post direct then we might be able to post 'hosted' pics. Sometimes it works, sometimes not...
Anyway, I had a nice pic of all my 1911's in a group... guess we'll have to wait and see what Tex can fix up for us in due time.
Regards, Marcus.

What??? Blasphemy!!!
I admit when I first became interested in guns then later started to acquire a few, especially handguns, I thought the 1911 was butt ugly! But I went ahead and got one anyway after awhile... a WWII vintage Ithaca mfg USGI .45ACP. It was all grey-green parkerized with brown plastic grips. Once I got it degreased and cleaned up I took it out and fired my first mag full of hardball. And the rest is history... later followed by a mint Colt Combat Commander Series 70 .45 in brush nickel finish [looked stainless]. And there's been many since from Gold Cups on down to "parts guns". I've even had a Delta Elite 10mm and Colt Government 1911 in 9mm. Loved 'em all!
Trouble is when I see a nice 1911 for sale, especially a Colt... well, you know the rest of the story...
Regards, Marcus.

Love my 1911's. One is and Auto Ordinance that someone spent
money one to make a great shooter.I bought it used. My next
one was a springfield GI with national match parts and I like it
too. My next one will be a springfield in 38 super GI parkerized
and I really nhope I like 38 super.

I'm a 1911 fan, have shot many, but never owned one. I hope to change that one day. I'm gonna try and post some pics here of a Colt 1911A1 that my friends dad carried with him in WWII. Before he left the states he had photos of him and his wife put in the grips. I think that's a neat way to have a reminder of your loved ones back home. The pistol is in almost new condition, seeing as how the owner was a P-38 pilot and it stayed in the holster for most of the war. It is shot about once a year, and it's probably the nicest I'll ever shoot.
I sure like NL's collection!

Hey North wheres your Kimber?? All 1911 lovers gotta have a Kimber it's a new law or you have to give your inventory of 1911's to the one who told you about it,oh and this new law was wrote up by some folks up in your neck of the woods so it cross's the borders just like them Honkers you keep sending us.
Runner that is very cool.
