Jusselin · **1911 -** 05-26-2010, 11:00 PM

saw all the other gun threads so i decided to start one ;)

so has any one heard any rumors about an anniversary edition next year? It will be 100 years of the 1911. (doing what no other gun can do)

I think it would be pretty nice to see a centennial edition or something.

Since anyone can now make a 1911, I would imagine that a million anniversary editions will pop up. Of course, the Colt would be the one to get, if you want to stick with tradition...

Love to have one.

Jusselin · 05-27-2010, 12:07 PM

Colt would be the only way to go!

although i am pretty sure that nighthawk might have a nice one made up.

I don't know about the ONLY way to go... both springfield and wilson combat will probably have some pretty nice anniversary editions worth owning!

Add to that list - Dan Wesson, Ed Brown, Kimber, Les Baer, STI, and a few others. Although I expect that Colt, Springfield and Wilson Combat will make particularly nice looking ones. I also wouldn't count on them becoming instant collectors items because there will be so many of them.

Agreed with the mass production statement chuck. I think mostly i would be interested in seeing Colts, Kimbers, Dan Wesson, and possibly Night Hawk if they make one. I would love seeing the models they design.

If you get a 1911, you get it to shoot. Unless you get a genuine wwI or wwII government model, then you've got a collectible piece.

OK let's get old school here how about Singer Sewing company making the centennial version Now that would be a collector's piece

For those who didn't know it Singer made 500 1911's (500-599 I think). I personally have #4XX and as Maxwell Smart said "Missed it by that much!!"

I can tell it has a 1911-A1 barrel in it and is missing one grip screw

It's just a 1911. Nothing special

LOL I wouldn't trade/sell this thing if someone offered me the world. This was my grandfather's gun and I never met him so this and a few pics are my only keepsakes.

I like your 1911 but in general I'm a plastic gun kinda guy. Plus I prefer my Winchester Ranger 127 grain +P+ ammo

Well excuse my ignorance. Care to explain why the 1911 is SO superior over the rest?

tml · 10-18-2010, 10:45 PM

It is not superior. It just makes bigger holes that leak faster!!! That's what Clint Smith told me many years ago when I took a handgun course at Thunder Ranch when it was in Mt Home, Texas. Tri
