Christ almighty people. Have some sympathy on those of us 1911 appreciators with more plebian salaries.

At the range today. It don't get much better than this: Hoag Mastergrade Longslide, Hoag Mastergrade Gov't, Pachmayr Combat Special.

Pretty sure theJanitor's very close friend either has a Combat Special or a homage to one.
StraitR, a Trs and another semi is a helluva year.
As far as salaries go, I make squat. I had a little money from selling things a few years ago and did a semi retro build. Then I sent it back for the rest of the work a couple years later. So the money was split up.
This is my only 1911. No way I can afford another for years to come.
I've posted this old girl before, but it's as custom as I get:
She started life as a 1918 'black army' M1911, that was an NRA purchase by someone somewhere.
Sometime in the 1970's it was hardchromed, and made into a bullseye gun that shoots 185 grain lead like a guided missile. she rattles, is loose, but she'll stay the same.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
I had to say something...
Not sure how I missed that before, but thanks.
Quality over quantity, you're doing it right.
I paid for the first last August by selling years worth of collected, unused guns and a good deal of other stuff in my safe. I decided to move away from SFA AIWB, so I had three glocks and a bunch of support gear to sell as well. I actually sold way more stuff than I needed to, and put the extra towards debt and the family. The TRS was bought outright in April, but I recently sold my Brig Tac which I consider partial late payment. All in all, I'm in the black when it comes to money spent on my 1911's. I would have never bought them otherwise, since excessively expensive gun purchases are pretty much on the bottom of my priorities list.
Stahp! I need another 1911 like I need a hole in my head.

Hers.
One half of the His/Hers full house custom builds from Chris James at Combat Precision Technologies. Inching ever closer to completion of the matching pair, differing only in caliber.
Can't wait to get these two into the stable.
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
Not entirely sure if this belongs here or not...I have it for a bit to do some testing. Interesting. Probably unnecessary.

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.
