My "FIRST" Colt! (pics)


And....what a gun, for your first Colt!:)

[John]

Hey, that's not a Longslide. You are deviating from your standards :) :D :p

[d90king]

Very nice Colt. Looks to be very well done.

[elijdub]

Very nice indeed! That sure is purty ;).

[Longslide]

Thanks guys and or gals!

John --- I know :lm: :nono:

But - it seems you just have to have Colt to be a REAL 1911 man!!! :lm: Trust me when I tell you I would never own a commemrative for display ONLY if if it was not SWEET deal. I traded a HK USP and a S&W 4506 for it. I had not shot those two in so long that the oil had on the pistols had turned to goo! So now I can look at it on my desk!!! :D :D

Congratulations. http://forum.m1911.org/images/icons/icon14.gif

I'd shoot it.

[Longslide]

OD I have been thinking about it!!!! :scared:

Now I already have the SA - RIA - SIG - FUSION strains of the 1911 virus. If I shoot it then - will I get the Colt bug!!!! :scared:

Thank god this is not a terminal VIRUS!!!!! :D :D

[MCPO]

Beautiful Pistol! Congrats on finding it.

I love the looks of the 1911s when they have the arched MSH and lanyard loop. It's almost too pretty to shoot - but then again you just have to - at least once :)

[Joni Lynn]

Congrats!
How long before you shoot it? :)

[Hunter]

Wow that thing is....loud. :D
That is a nice looking Colt, please let us know how she works.

[MCMIX]

I wouldn't shoot it if it was me. Heck no, I would use it as an excuse to buy a SHOOTER. Well at least it has worked for me , that is why I have SEVEN NOW!!! LOL!

[Longslide]

Joni Lynn
You know I want to shoot it! I think I will just look at it for a while.

It is Nickel finished. Looks good! Looks good! :dead_hors

[John]

And it's a pimp gun too. I think you need to relocate to TX, that barbecue-gun will attract some attention, I am sure.

[Longslide]

:lm: :scared: :lm:
John --- I would have to put some pearly grips on it with gold Colt medallions to be an AUTHENTIC BLING BLING pimp city "special" :lm:

[daveohno]

You could put some ivories on it and be the "Pimp with Taste." :D

[Sir Jon]

flip a coin that will tell you if it was meant to be shot, let fate decide, besides you only live once!!!

[Longslide]

WELL -- I think I am going to the range with it today!!!

[paul45]

I think you can shoot it! I believe 11,500 were made starting in '70.

Congrats, I like the shiney as well!!

[Glock1911]

I'd be torn between wanting to shoot it and just leaving it as a wall hanger.

Who am I kidding? Shoot it!

[leade45]

Depends what the future investment potential of the gun is. That would tell me whether or not to shoot it.

[Longslide]

NEVER TEMPT A 1911 JUNKIE WITH SHINNY BLING 1911

I SHOT IT! 50 ROUNDS - it ran 100% what really surprised me is that is looks EXACTLY the same as before I shot it - ummm well almost. just some scuff on the barrel hood. Big deal! IT Sure was fun! As for the resale value. Well my kids can deal with that afer I go to the BIG GOLD RANGE IN THE SKY! :lm:

back in the presentation case - just like it had never been anywhere!!!!

I PROMISE - I will not shoot it any more! my fingers are not crossed - honest!!!!
