    Any 1911 45 Fans???

    Hi,
    Saw a movie that I thought was pretty good action adventure flick!

    Called "Hit Man Agent 47" the lead players used 1911 45's alot in the movie and showed the old war horse is still the great pistol it has always been!!!!

    Just sayin!

    Still working the kinks out on my beginner model =). They sure are some fancy and pretty guns though, and what a dream to shoot! My knock off was dirt cheap and still feels like a well tamed cannon. I just wish the price tag was a little lower on the nicer models but that is always the case. I've got the idiot mark on the slide and still fumble putting it back together occasionally. I know the steps, that damn lever just doesn't always want to pop right back in yet.

    reloading for it is a dream, the large case, plentiful cheap brass, and takes just about any boolit shape I throw at it. My new mold is sitting here glaring at me for not casting any to try out yet.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    I am! And therefore I consider crimes of the highest order what Imbel does here in brazil... it produces a full size 1911 in 380ACP featuring a 5" barrel...

    Link of gun store showing 1911 and price (R$ 3900 translates roughly around US$ 1200!!!!)

    http://www.paudefogo.com.br/produto/365

    They also make a smaller 1911 380, and .40S&W versions, as well as 9mm and regular 45s for the army in brazil. Since I don't want to have a 380 and don't have the permit for a .45 I collect pictures

    I like the surreal reloading sequence of Woody Harrelson in Zombieland (silly movie, gave me some light laughs)...

    Hi,
    I think I have the "BEST" two molds for the 45 AUTO! (my opinion!)

    The MP HG#68 200 gr. clone!

    And the LBT LFN 230 GR., both in 4 cavity!

    Both these molds are a pleasure to use and the kicker is the seating depth, taper crimp are the same for both boolits!!!

    Hi,
    Those are nice pistols!

    I have to show my "retro" build!

    Caspian frame and a Colt/Brazilian Army slide!

    Hand checkering, a S&W take off barrel, Ahern checkered ebony grips.

    Frame and slide lapped in and a trigger job using Power Custom jigs!

    Front site is peened and soldered!

    Rear site is a "10-8 Retro"

    Wilson Combat mags!

    Just a no frills combat pistol that always goes, bang!

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it look very functional.

ID:	171811Here is two favorite 1911s of mine. The Colt National Match 1911 was my duty gun in my law enforcement career. That target was shot at 25 yards with a full magazine of 8 rounds of my +P duty loads. The S&W 1911 was my match gun. After a match barrel was fitted the target was fired at 25 yards from a Ransom rest using 8 rounds of Federal 185 gr. Gold match ammo. Both guns were extremely reliable for both duty and IDPA pistol matches. That one hole with the S&W can be covered with a 5 cent nickel.

    Isn't everybody?

    I have an old Auto Ordnance 1911 from the Hurley NY days. You know the one, the one that everyone says is junk, etc.

    I have had it for a long time and it just works. I have had it so long that I am on my third extractor.

    It shoots the Lee 452-200 SWC like a laser.

    Over the years I replaced the stock grip safety with a beavertail to eliminate the bite. I upgraded to real walnut stocks from the plastic. And I finally replaced the sights. The old GI sights were hard to see so I drifted in a new rear sight and my son generously staked on a new front sight.

    I love that gun and want to be buried with it.
