That is the only thing keeping me from selling my 1911!Originally Posted by 45dotACP
I have often parroted the notion that there are guns you just need to have for the purpose of proving you're not a fucking commie
A government model 1911 and a .38 K frame are just such guns.

I kinda look at it like an either-or proposition. So theoretically you could sell the average 1911, buy the model 64, speedloaders, a holster and a reloading press... depending on the 1911 you could even buy a second model 64...

Mine is a Springfield. I think it may have had some work done to it, but I don't know 1911's well enough to tell. If I sell it, I will probably buy a 1911 in 9mm. That seems like a reasonable compromise to me, though it may offend the purist.

A gun collector I know said that if you could only have two guns, a 1911 and a Model 10 are everything a person needs. He went on to say that if you can have only one, go for the Model 10. I presume a M64/65 counts, as well.I have often parroted the notion that there are guns you just need to have for the purpose of proving you're not a fucking commie

Personally, if I could have only one gun period it would be a quality shotgun, given that they are the most versatile firearm extant. But if I could only have one pistol it would be either a .357 mag or .44 mag revolver with a 4" barrel. Again, primarily on the merits of versatility alone.

I used to have a 4" 19-3 but I gave it to my dad who used to carry one as a cop. I then got a GP100 to replace it and have since gotten a 4" and a 2.75" Security Six in stainless and a 629 and 625. I would very much like to order a brace of these 64's, or even just one, but of the 80-ish guns I already have they all need more ammo and mags and most need something else like an optic, sling, grips, sights and the like. I should sell off a bunch and get the rest squared away but the only two left that I am willing to part with are either already listed for sale or aren't worth hardly anything.
Thanks for the reply.

Man that is quite a deal. If I hadn't just gone on a 3" 65 and 66 buying spree I would pick one of thee up. I have a 2" 64 that is a lot of fun to shoot.
I've been trying to find a source for factory DAO K frame hammers. If anyone wants to trade your DAO hammer for a SA/DA hammer I have a few.

I bought one of these when Stephanie the Enabler posted up last year. Picked up a Pachmayr Presentation to go on the square butt. I really like it after spending several hours smoothing and shaping the rubber. A little here, a little there, doing what I like and what makes sense. Realize in the end, I have a $20 grip worth $10 that is not that far off a Herrett's Shooting Master or Jordan Trooper. Next time, I think I'll just work the overtime and send some money up to Twin Falls.

1. OK, fine.
2. What do they look like?
