One of my favorite firearms is a Colt Officer’s Model – shorter barren and grip – in 45 ACP. I replaced the original wood grip panels with a pachmayr wrap-around rubber grip. Love it!

The 1911 is the grandaddy to the Glock and is a defensive firearm that every gun enthusiast should have…at least one.

I bought my GC about the same time. The gun shop is long gone, but the GC is still running very nicely every week at the range.

Loved the design for years. Have even built one myself.

Carried others over the years, but I keep coming back to the 1911. JMB did it right, and it was over 100 years ago!

Have owned my Colt 1911 Model 70 since 1980 . It’s the best gun I have every shot . I own other handguns that I like to shoot and share at the range with friends but my Colt is my go to gun for personal and home protection .

I have a 1966 Commander and a much older nickel or chrome 1911. This book will be very help full in educating me on all 1911s.

Only the best handgun design ever! John Browning definitely designed “God’s Handgun”! My Colt’s and Springfield Armory 1911s are the only guns I trust for daily carry!
