God's Gun: Official 1911 Picture Thread

[lightflyer1]

I respect that and understand. In all fairness though, it has been shot before as every gun has before leaving the factory. Definitely not something you shoot all the time but I appreciate the craftsmanship. Truly incredible the talent that some have. Pictures don’t justify the incredible work they did even a little.

I just admire things like that at the store or museums. Beautiful gun!
I enjoy the beauty of it but couldn't stand it if I messed it up putting a mark on it.

I recently held a bob-tail 1911 for the first time and it makes so much sense. GREAT! Now I want to buy a 4th 1911! Maybe in a few years when I've saved up enough I'll get a really really really nice one and hopefully make it my last.

Do NOT look at the Dan Wesson Guardian.

It's funny - I like some of the gold on a blued gun - especially the high-polish....but it's almost like a little goes a long way for me. The side above, I love - but the top of it and the other side just seem too much for my tastes. But - each of us will have our preferences, which is why I'll refrain from "calling out" any person on their gun choice.

Unless, of course, it's a Glock........

lol

PS - having said that, I've got several w/extra gold on 'em....I need to break them out and take some pics. I'll readily admit to there being at least one that was bought in a VERY weak moment......lol

Agreed, the top is honestly a tad much but the high polish is incredible. My photography skills suck so it was hard to catch it on camera. I feel as if a lot of these pieces cannot be truly appreciated through words or photos, definitely have to experience them in person to get that moment that leaves you speechless.

If I go further in the honest realm, the Caliber is not up there In my favorites either but all in all Incredible craftsmanship. I would add the moment of weakness was in full affect unfortunately, any sensible thoughts went straight out the window along with the Im not spending over x amount.

Like my first factory engraved Colt 1911....."I'm NEVER spending over X for any damned 1911!"

Now it's more like "Shit, it's only this much......"

I've had my Guardian for seven years. At the range or carried, it has performed as expected and been a pleasure to shoot.
