Niceguy. I like the righty controls (no ambi). Like the sights. No like the beavertail. But that's the beauty of the free world right? Do what works for you. Cool pistola. I wish I could put a can on mine.

Question though (since I'm a dumb Canuck without suppressor experience). Do those sights work with the can on? Or is it a point and pull close range type of a thing?

We need an MK edition pistol with the things you mentioned, MK grips and the barrel to barrel bushing work you've shown us.

It just clips the top of the suppressor. Shooting both eyes open it's not very noticeable. I guess kind of the same principle as shooting a red dot optic with the front cap on. You see the target, you see the dot, but if you close either eye you lose the dot or the target depending on the eye. I'm debating suppressor height sights. The gun's I have them on, I'm not totally sold on. Just doesn't feel natural to me having the sights a 1/4" or whatever they are, higher than normal.
I have the beautiful factory wood grips but usually keep those grips on because they are pretty aggressive and that's what I like. I don't like the ambi safeties either. Beavertails I'm fine with either way.

In it's factory form. Dan Wesson Pointman.

You forgot the idiot mark. That's like putting my signature on a pistol.

I'll take one.

Finally dug my Supers out, gonna try the new one when I get out to the farm next weekend. Been awhile since I was shooting.

1911 inherited from my grandfather, the gear/holster were borrowed from a friend to pose the photo.

WOW! Some very nice 1911s here!

Here are mine:
The top one is my Kimber Custom Target II

The bottom one is my Ruger 1911CMD

Sure I can do a MK edition even with idiot mark

Was digging in the safe last night and found this beauty. Oddball Colt I bought a year or so ago and forgot about: S70 .45 pistol with an Ace .22 serial number. Sights and msh are not correct, old Wilson combat sights and probably a Gold Cup msh. Colt swapped in the .22 frames to complete pistols back in the day, this is one of them. Slick fit and a trigger that breaks clean at just under 3.5 lbs. Never fired it, gonna change that this weekend at the farm.

Schweet!

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Of my 3 1911s this is my favorite one to shoot. Ti-rant 45 makes it stupid quiet.

Pinky.....

Looks like all different stainless parts. Don't think it is pinky. I sold it to a non KAC guy

I'm pretty sure it isn't. Just very similar.

I bought it from someone previously named "coach", who polished the controls and gave pistol a paint job in Sept. 2012

Borrowed my other grandfather's 1911 from my dad to get a few pics of it.

Beautiful!

Nice looking pistol, got any pics of the other side of it? Is it a commercial pistol or military?

Serial number shows it to be commercial sales production from 1914.

I was wondering about that, as it didn't have a military inspector's stamp or the property stamp on the other side. Too often those marks are sanded off the M1911s. Very nice pistol!

I've had this Kimber Warrior for a while ... didn't shoot it until just last week ... Kind of asking myself 'why' now ... It shoots great.
