WWI Commemorative 1911 (2nd Battle of the Marne) from 1969 with correct style grip safety (repro). This was bought as a shooter (no box, etc) and it is quite accurate with standard ball despite the small sights.

I was kinda pissed that on the frame the model name is engraved "1911-A1FS".  WTF!?!? this is supposed to be a "1911 clone" and they call it a 1911A1FS.

Aasg- no current production. 1911 clone is exactly 100% true to original form( the colt 01918 no longer produced)
But on the other hand if you we're not aware I'd be more concerned it is one of many rebranded foreign made 1911's. |

I took the pics right after I acquired it at the gun show. Just got the pistol back today, had the safety milled to fit. Buddy of mine did it and sent 7rds down the pipe and said she shoots. I am excited to take her to the range now. Pins are all in correctly and the safety works. Gun looks good now 
Who ever owned it before must of just thrown all different or spare parts onto it. I would like to get an original barrel for it, all blued. The one the guy gave me for the gun is polished

It's been a while. Last time I posted this gun, it wasn't working. Now it is functional and shall be my 2013 Javalina slayer for the Handgun hunt
It does have some issues with the hollow points when feeding sometimes, but that is only with the old mag. The reproduction 01918 mags work good though. |

Not as cool as some others here, but I just picked up this pre-WWII 1911 for $400. I like the vintage feel to it, it was a "modernized" 1911 before it was cool. All USGI parts except the sights. The frame is a 1919 Colt as is the slide. Should be a good shooter, whoever assembled it did a good job.

I like the 1911, the shoe detracts from it horribly. |

Mix-master FrankenColt built from a stripped 1920 Government Model heart-cut frame and a 1948 hard slide stamped "COLT Automatic Calibre .45".
I know it's more A1 than vintage 1911. Not a GI gun so it's not an arsenal re-build. Finish is worn, pitted, and re-parkerized but she's a solid shooter rather than safe queen. Frame bluing is original.

Howdy fellow maniacs....old is best! Maybe someday we can afford some new guns!
Will get some downloads and add some eye candy tonight. 1911 to 1919 production by the three prime contractors were pistols hand made by men born to veterans of the Civil War. Only the Black Army had a finish step skipped to accelerate production. If you were 50 in 1916, you were born in 1866, a year after the War ended. Major Walter G. Penfield was born in 1879 (the first Colt's inspector)....these guys hand made each pistol from fixtures still used today, no two are identical and each is interesting with a story to tell, no matter how original or how poor condition. The companies had minor parts interchangeability problems failing War Dept. requirements since fit/finish had to be "sloppied up" to allow Springfield Armory to interchange with Remington UMC's. We had not quite perfected that skill as later enjoyed by US&S which obtained special commendation for just that achievement. More to come.

The only service automatic made by the Remington Arms Co. since Remington Rand is a shaver and typewriter company.
Total War production of 21,676 made from 1918 to early 1919, all inspected by Edmund E. Chapman and only a few thousand actually made during the War to End All Wars. There are said to be two kinds of UMC...."no finish" and "refinished". This was a close encounter with the third kind. Original in all aspects, August 1918 production and one of the few made prior to Armistice Day.

http://oi53.tinypic.com/23ts043.jpg Just have to genuflect one more time at this one. The fire blued small parts, the dimpled mag catch release screw, the stocks the spitting image of 1905 type, probably an exposed base type A magazine....historically important they all are but this one is the ancestor of untold millions by over 60 companies. One day I sat down for fun and easily named over 50 that built the model 1911 or direct variants. No other weapon, no other country (AK exceeds in production but not longevity, the Luger is older but not built in these numbers or count of companies, etc.). Salute.
