I am a full size 1911 fan. It just fits my hand perfectly. Does anyone else feel this way?

To like and to have are two different things...
I like...
But don't have...
One day, I will!
Springfield 1911 A1 :P
I have a Springfield 1911 A1 I bought it about 15 years ago. I don't shoot it a lot, but its a nice gun to shoot. I just got a brass catcher for it so I don't have to pick up the brass. [pirate]
Not quite a full size 1911 but....
My Baby - Colt Combat blue with Pachmyer grips, 45ACP of course.
We've been going steady since 1974. Ramped with SW style adjustable sight.
I get a warm fuzzy feeling just thinking about her. [headbang]

Not quite a traditional full size, but I have a Springfield high capacity 1911A1. The high capacity just fit my hand so much better then the single stack so even though it is a GI model I went with it.
This is my 1911 :mrgreen:

Yup, I'm a big fan. I currently carry a 3" kimber, but that is being traded for a Wilson. Woo Hoo! Also have a Kimber Warrior and a Les Baer TRS. Unfortunately, all my shooting friends are in love with the various plastic pistols, so it's hard to find anyone to share my interest with. Maybe someday they will see the light.
I absolutely love shooting my Springfield 1911 A-1 It feels so nice in the palm of your hand. I put on some tritium night sights and it's just perfect for me. Here's a pic of my baby http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...ad/PW9108L.jpg I want this one real bad but, I ain't that rich. :mrgreen: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...full_small.jpgQuote:

Despite trying alternatives over the years such as the Smith M645 and M4506, the SIG P220, the Glock G21 and the XD45 I keep coming back to the full size 1911. Its still the best gun in a 45acp despite its age.
I'm just not as impressed as everyone else. My project ccw 1911 will be in the for sale forum shortly.
Yup! Colt,govt model.
Yep I am a fan and no I do not own one. :cry:
Series 70 or series 80?
I feel my full size single stack 1911s are the epitome of what a fighting
handgun should be. I keep trying different things but still keep coming back to the government 1911. I still have other types of 45 ACPs (a
SIG P220, Smith M4506, XD45) but I still always go to the 1911.
