My 1984 Security Six. Inherited when my Dad passed away.
Inspiration for my user name....
Thank you! Yep, I grew up in central/upstate NY. Always just assumed handguns were illegal, haha, (though I was a boy scout and had shot lots of bolt-action .22s, and a hunting rifle/shotgun or two) until I was working on a newly-acquainted friend's car with him after I had moved here and his shirt pulled up over his Sig P238 and I almost **** myself. He took me to the range that weekend; I bought my first gun about 2 weeks later, and had submitted the paperwork/range test for my CHL a couple of weeks after that. This was near the end of 2012; I've owned 37 guns since then.You take really great photos. I saw your flickr account and website. So you're in Dallas now from NY? Welcome to Texas! can't imagine being a gun guy in NY.
Bought it new in 1968:
Damn. I was worried that someone would do this. It's now clear to me that I don't own nearly enough 1911s. Oh well, I'll just have to buy more of them. It's a tough world but I'm up to the task.Bluzman's pic motivated me to round up all the 1911's. From bottom left:
Taurus, Sig 22, Sig Carry Nightmare, P12 LDA, Kimber Ultra, 2 Kimber Eclipse Ultras (rosewood Hogue grips on one), Para Slim Hawg.
The P12 was my first 1911 and that 3 1/2 inch barrel still feels the most natural to me. But they are all good.

Heh, thanks, guys. I guess I did a decent job controlling the lighting (white posterboard come in so handy), but it was very dim, so I had to push to ISO3200 for one of them. :-\awesome pistola, and great photos. what poor lighting? lol
