November thru Feb I sold off several 1911s I no longer desired as part of the collection. I wanted to reset and take a different direction with the collection. I sold all but 4. That’s when Kimber entered the picture. Below is a progression

3/10/2022 - First Kimber added
Air gun Trigger Wood Gun barrel Material property


3/25/2022 - Second Kimber and first Springfield added
Air gun Trigger Font Gun barrel Wood


5/6/2022 - Third Kimber and second Springfield added
Product Font Motor vehicle Material property Wood

Be interesting how it grows from here. I have a Colt on backorder (only the Lord knows when I’ll see that) and Springfield Garrison on layaway. Those are the known additions coming.

Last family pic before there are some drastic changes. 3 are going to auction today and will be replaced with something else later. I have one 9mm Garrison at Springfield that didn’t make the pic but oh well… it’s going to auction after it gets here too.

The matte Kimber, the CA compliant Springfield Loaded and the RIA BBR 3.10 are going bye bye.

I have one more Raptor that isn't here yet and whatever doesn't sell at the auction that may come back. I believe the S&W and the Kimber Stainless are within $25 of reserve already and 12 days left. I believe $850 was my reserve on both. The 3 Springfields are hovering around $500-$525 still. The RIA still has a ways to go too.

I'll just assume if I can't find a stainless 1911 in stock, it's because Phil has it.:oops:

My wife just realized how many 1911s I now have 😂. She was balancing the check book after vacation and we were talking about how much we spent on that trip. I said, yeah but $1100 was on that Colt I bought on the way. She told me I spent $3k in the last week or two. I started laughing and asked her when the last time she was in the vault 😂. Long story short, she made a trip up there and I gave her the tour of all the new ones.

I have a cool wife 😉

It's always good to have a wife that enjoys your hobbies.
Sometimes its a double edged sword.
My wife has about as many Walthers as you have 1911s in that pic above.
I have to watch her in the gun store or some random German gun will follow us home.

Started the third row on the wall. Looks naked. Hope my other one comes back from getting fixed soon.

Got to give you props for the dedication to the full size, stainless program.

I like you left the factory grips on the Raptors. they stand tall.

I am liking those Henry's too. I put a shiny black scope on mine. I love shooting a lever action and also my Marlin. I feel like Lucas McCain when I shoot them. The Rifleman went off the air the year I was born but I have seen every episode. I especially like it when he's shooting from the hip rapid fire and never misses.

I hear ya. There is about a 75 year span between the 1850’s-1920’s when guns were still as much a work of art as much as they were a necessity. 3/4 of the guns in my gun room are modern firearms that were originally designed during that period. Even the mighty S&W 500 is nothing more than a series of improvements off of the S&W 32 hand ejector model designed way back in the 1890’s. Modern 1911s have undergone just as many improvements since they were originally released. I’m not a period correctness snob. I have just as much fun with the modern ones as I would the originals. Henry’s are no different.
