I would just like to throw out there that the Colt Spec Combat Govt is eye candy. I have one just like it.

Why does any person need so many 1911's?! You have a wonderful collection.

I almost feel guilty looking at that picture. I hope the girlfriend doesn't catch me.

I'm just glad the wife never looks at this site because she hasn't see but half of these guns.

What a fantastic collection you have! I love the 1911 platform, Iv'e tried owning just about every design and caliber made in quality firearms in my time and the 1911 is the one that get's the nod every time. The way it carries, the way it points and the accuracy year after year keep me coming back.

Outstanding collection. I have been eyeing a Thunder Ranch myself. What do you think of it compared to the rest of your collection?

The Thunder Ranch Special is an outstanding gun. Very tight and accurate. If I had to compare the TRS to the Wilson or Brown I would have to say the TRS is a TANK. It is able to shoot any ammo that I have ever put through it without any complaints. The finish may not be of the same quality as the Brown or Wilson but it is better than most guns on the market. The TRS comes with the slim grips which I wasn't sure I would like and planed on changing them out to regular thickness grips but to tell the truth I kind of like the thin grips. It's safe to say I wont be trading the Thunder Ranch Special. If you are thinking about getting one I'm sure you will be extremely satisfied.

My primary carry gun in the summer is the Kimber since it is so small and light I can easily conceal it while wearing shorts and a t-shirt. In winter months I carry something a little bigger such as the Brown. The Colt is my retired daily carry gun that now resides in my vehicle as a backup. I just picked up the Wilson and have been carrying it this past week. It is a very nice gun but it actually weighs more than my full size 1911's. I think my next major purchase will be another Wilson but compact size in the lightweight alloy frame.

I think you would love a CCO style 1911. I recently got a Colt CCO and it is the perfect setup for carry. Commander slide on an officer's frame. All of the manufacturers that you currently own make their respective versions.

Beautiful collection! The 1911 is such a solid gun!

A person can never have too many 1911's. I have a weakness for them also. Excellent collection. I'm inspired.
