First 1911

Everyone remembers their first 1911.......

My first 1911 to shoot was a stock Colt Government model, series 70. The first one that I owned was a Colt Gold Cup Series 80. Both in the only caliber g-d intended the 1911 to be.... 45ACP!

My first 1911 was a Colt. I couldn't hit anything with it. It was one of the few guns I ever sold. Fast forward twenty years I decided I wanted a 1911 just to have one. I ended up with a RIA. I have had no problems with it and it shoots a lot better than I can. I can shoot it a lot better than my first Colt for some reason.

Have fun.

I loved my Colt, but they require a lot of work to be accurate and shoot well. I own a Springfield TRP now and all have to say is that it is the most accurate 45 I have ever owned.

Well I grew up on dads 1911 but my first ones were the 30 I signed for in my first arms room in SHAPE Belgium back in 82.

Did ya know that as easy as a 1911 is that 90% of Military doctors could take them apart but not put them back together?
