Re: 1911 Pictures!!
If you're lookin for a basic entry level shooter and a potential "fixer-upper" you can't go wrong with a Springfield 1911 GI. You can spend a few more bucks and get the Mil-Spec model, a few more bucks than that for the Range Officer, etc., etc. There are a ton of options out there from several makers.
Just avoid Para Ordnance like they have the plague. They used to be a reputable company, buy now they manufacture overpriced paperweights that are posing as pistols.

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
No problem,
Just be careful! Getting into 1911s can be addicting and you can never have just one. If you find yourself caught in that downward spiral hit me up. I know of some great support groups. Strangely, we meet at a local gun store once a week and I've yet to overcome my addiction...

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
Find you a local shop with LAYAWAY!
My LGS has it with 25% down and a 90 day pay-off period. It's freakin AWESOME!!! It's a lot easier to part with a couple hundred bucks a month than $800-$1000 in one shot...

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
My Pop just sent me some pics of my #1 all-time favorite pistol in the world, his Colt's Combat Commander. He's retired Airborne and has had it since the early '70s. It was his duty sidearm while he served.
Several months ago I had an m1911 knife made for him with a matching set of silver-black wood grips for the Colt. He's been in poor health since last September, but I'm happy to say he's turned the corner and finally able to get around to taking the photos. Just thought I'd share...
