Pic's of your 1911's - Page 22 - The Firearms Forum

Double D · 03-28-2011, 10:14 AM

I just couldnt help it. I wanted it so I got it. If the rain lets up I will take it out back and shoot it today. S&W retooled their plant in maine with new CNC machines to redesign and build 1911s. They have made several upgrades such as night sights, new patented trigger, fish scale slide serations, titanium firing pin, stronger spring, no firing pin block, reshaped ejection port, match barrel with recessed crown, rounded butt mainspring housing, standard barrel bushing, wider retooled extractor just to name a few. I like the way it feels in my hand. This is the new scandium framed commander sc.

Here is my .45 carry - and I have had a bunch of 1911's.

Shooter45 · 03-28-2011, 02:02 PM

Well, since you have had a bunch of 1911's you need to show them on this Forum instead of a Bursa.
This is the 1911 Forum and we don't care about much else.

Double_D, I knew I left too soon.

NICE !!
Now, time for a range report.

Its finally raining here. We need it bad. I did just take it apart and oil it up with SBGO.

Double D · 03-29-2011, 09:19 AM

I went out last night just before dark in between raindrops. All were shot from the un supported standing position at 35 ft. Sorry for the picture quality. You can tell it was my first time with this gun but I think I am going to like it. I felt that I should add that I started out with blazer 230s and went to rem golden sabre 185s without one malfuntion. The stock mags are decent, but as always I throw them in the safe and replace them with wilson combats. This is a must for consistant reliability. While there are many things that can improve accuracy, this gun shoots well right out of the box. Even better if you take my shakey hands out of the picture. This ones a keeper. I will put several hundred down range before it earns the right to be called my "everyday carry".

gdmoody · 03-30-2011, 10:34 PM

Dan, that is a beautiful gun and looks like it is a great shooter, too.

That is some pretty fine shooting for "shakey" hands.

American Leader · 03-30-2011, 10:44 PM

That's the best looking Smith I've ever seen. Considering it's accurate as well, makes this 1911 a real keeper. Congrats on a great purchase! It's so dadgum pretty I think I just might have to pick one up. Thanks for showing her off.

Double D · 03-31-2011, 07:02 AM

Thanks guys. I really like it. I want to spend some quality time with her. I wish the rain would clear out but we need it. I want to shoot it supported from 50 ft and some other stuff. I always try and make it malfuntion to test reliability before I carry it. I honestly dont see any problems the way it functioned out of the box. I love 1911s.

Shooter45 · 04-01-2011, 09:12 PM

It sure holds a good group. I'd call that a keeper.

312shooter · 04-02-2011, 01:03 AM

Just finished her up, a plain Jane SA A-1 Milspec with a little work

Brisk44 · 04-02-2011, 09:38 AM

Hey 312 did you use mag polish on that? It looks beautiful.

Thank you - Started with a light #800 wet sanding, progressed through #1500, followed up with green then white polishing rouge with a buffing wheel and dremel

Funny you ask this IS the picture I am using to advertise the sale. PM if interested.

BrianPowley · 04-04-2011, 08:21 AM

New screws for my slabs......

Double D · 04-04-2011, 01:56 PM

Dont want to bore anyone with pics of my targets but I thought there might be someone who is considering the smith and wesson E series commander. I took it out saturday and ran about 200 more rounds thru it using pmc 230s and some blazers and a few power ball 165s and some golden sabre 185s. I used two wilson combat mags, three mccormic 10 rd mags 2 smith stock mags and two taurus mags. Its nice not having to load two mags over and over. I have never shot IDPA or any comp shooting so I couldnt tell you how it would stack up to that. But I can tell you that it is the most accurate gun I have ever owned right out of the box. At 50 ft I used the seat of my golf cart for support and was holding good tight groups with little variation. The gun performed flawlessly. Not one single hickup or failure to feed or stovepipe. Any ammo, any magazine it didnt matter. I am impressed with this gun. I am not sorry I purchased it and it is well on its way to earning the title of "everyday carry". It will run circles around my springfield EMP. I have been carrying a colt defender everyday up till now, but am considering switching or rotating.

H-D · 09-28-2011, 11:20 PM

Here's mine nothin fancy.... can't believe this is not a sticky...

Double D · 09-29-2011, 08:30 AM

H-D all 1911s are a thing of beauty in my eyes. Some more than others but almost every single one I have owned has been a decent shooter. I love them. No, it goes much, much deeper than that........

H-D · 09-29-2011, 08:42 AM

well I sure love all the ones I see really love all the ones I have shot but I will never get rid of that one, but I built her to shoot not for looks I got a real purty one and a nice lookin one too but this one is my favorite

JLA · 09-29-2011, 12:43 PM

You know somethin HD. I think the best lookin 1911s are the milspec 1911A1s.
