2011 -- 100 year anniversary of the 1911

[Hoosier]

So, I just realized next year will be the 100th anniversary of the Colt Model 1911. How many 100th Anniversary editions do you think are going to be put out? Kimber, all those 1911 guys? I wonder if there will be any value in it.

I should probably get one sooner or later.

While I agree that the 1911 is a fine firearm, I can't say that I'd be particularly inclined to purchase a "100th Anniversary" model, just because it's a "100th Anniversary" model.

I plan to pick up a 100th anniversary edition from some manufacturer. Likely a Springfield.

You don't think there would be any appreciation bump in it's value? Not really sure if it's worth owning a gun strictly for appreciation in value, I'd like to shoot them.

It depends on how many of them they make. There will probably be 500,000 of them.

To buy anything but a Colt for the 100th is just wrong!

Kimber has already released their Centenial edition. I'm hoping that Colt will release a few different grades; I won't buy a high grade that I won't shoot.

Just out of curiosity, what do domains go for these days?

If I can find a reasonably priced GI model I'll probably take it home and put in the the safe.

Do you guys seriously need to find an excuse to buy a 1911??? Or any gun, for that matter.

Hell..."It's Tuesday. I think I'll buy a gun," works for me.

But a hundred years of 1911s...pretty cool. What others are still basically in production? (don't mean to jack the thread...just curious)

S&W Model 10 (or equivalent)
Mauser 98
Colt 1873 Peacemaker
Marlin 1894/1895
Winchester lever guns
Ma Duece is gettin' close, too.

Anything else?

I will try to find a colt that I can afford to just put in the safe and forget about, if not probably a springfield.

I have collected a few guns that I won't shoot and just leave sit in the safe. I know some may consider that wrong, but they are collectors to me and I have more than enough others that I can shoot!
