My love affair with the 1911 spans thirty-five years, but I can never learn enough about it.
the 1911 is the best carry gun.
My first 1911 was for CC and the second because it looked cool. I’d like to win the books.
I own an M1911-A1 because it is a proven and durable design. It lends itself easily to upgrades, modifications, and customization. Parts are easily obtainable. It is versatile and accurate, and it fits my hand so well!
I’d love to win these books! The 1911 is absolutely the best handgun ever made!!!
I have 8 1911,s. Multi barrel lengths and calibers. I love the guns, great shooters. Have one in bedside table with Crimson trace sights for home defense, Shoot the 9mm and 38 super the most for target practice. The books would be a great addition to the collection.
I have several 1911′s—daily carry is Wilson Pro.
Would really appreciate the books!

Love historical reading. Sounds great!
CCW, would love to win the books.
i recently bought a remington r1 enhanced model 1911.i took it out and shot it,i immediatly fell in love with it.i had been using a taurus pt-145 mill pro,and man alive the shot group,the distance,thecycling just everything about it was better.so as you can tell i have replaced my ccw taurus,with my remington 1911.
Mostly for target shooting, but certainly capable for most other tasks. Thank you for the chance!
I have one 1911 for IPSC and one for CCW. It is always nice to gain more knowledge about the weapons you use and these two books would be an asset for more inside to my favorite handgun.
I’ll put these to good use.
bought a 1911 mostly for target shooting, but also just to have one
I would love to win these books as I do not own a 1911 YET….but would prefer to build my first one. I hve shot several friends guns and love the feel in my hand as it is rather on the small side and many others do not fit that well. Bu by wanting to be a sef taught gun smith I think the information contained here would be of great benefit to my task.
My 1911 would be used for home defense and also would like to shoot competitive with it.
I crafted my 1911 with my own hands. It’s pretty special to me so I only bring it out once in a while when I go to the range. I hope someday to pass it down to a grandson or daughter so they can learn about and enjoy the simple complexity of John Browning’s incredible design and the the true meaning of the Second Amendment…Freedom.
Would like to win the books to learn more about the 1911.
I use it for ALL – concealed carry, home defense, target shooting! However, “Carry” is where it spends most of it’s time… And, as always, I’d just like to say I would love to win the books too!!!
My primary use for my 1911 is target shooting.
I’d love to win these books!
Mine are for home defense and target shooting. Love love love them and would love to win. Thanks!
