My Nov. 2011 Ruger SR1911 45ACP full size
has been shot since day one. Took me a
little bit of practice to get use to it.
Man, have you seen the price on them now?

I've shot mine so much that it's actually a little loose but is like the Energizer bunny.
mine might have a 100 rounds thru it at the most
I have had so many 1911's of many manufacturers over many years, in most of the available chamberings. Now, thru no organized agenda, I now own just one, a Ruger Night Watchman CMD. And I seldom shoot it.
Same here. I got my .45 in a trade and really did not need another 1911 in .45 but took it anyway.
I don't shoot mine a lot but it does get shot from time to time. .45 acp. is more expensive than 9mm or .40 S&W & I don't carry my SR 1911 because I don't want to try to conceal something that large. It doesn't get shot as much as the gun I usually carry or others that I am more likely to carry. I do like it a lot though.
SR1911 9mm Navy Special Warfare.
Bought this for my oldest daughter, it's her birthday gun. She was born March 24th and the serial on this one is NSW-00324.
It gets to sit in my vault and look pretty until I'm dead, then she can take possession. Never even racked the slide.......

What's so bad about them that you won't even fire them? I even put a few through my Hi Point every now and then so I can laugh at it when it jams
I'm contemplating another "45" day at the range. My SR1911 gets a lot of exercise, it is my nightstand and first choice for a carry gun. I also have a .45LC/ACP Convertible OM BH, a Glock 41, LC Carbine, and just because, two different rifles in .450 Bushmaster.
Not to worry, the shooters far out number the safe queens!!!What's so bad about them that you won't even fire them? I even put a few through my Hi Point every now and then so I can laugh at it when it jams

I don't shoot any of my guns often enough.
I took one of my SR1911's out to the range last week and gave it to my son. I have a Remington that gets shot even less than the Rugers.
Usually if I take a 1911 to the range it is a S&W 1911PD Comander. An old picture of them together

I have a small cache of 1911's. 1 Ruger target model in 9mm, a Colt 1911 and an AMT Hardballer Longslide. I love to shoot them, but I hate policing my brass because I reload. I shoot the Ruger 9mm the most since I have so much 9mm brass, I don't mind loosing them at the range if I don't feel like picking them up.
This is what I post about people who don't ride their motorcycles!!!
Most of my "Gear" comes from Sportsman's Guide . Snake Boots, Cargo Pants, Random Trailer Week that I actually rode to shirt, Even my riding Jacket isn't some name brand. I met the makers at a show and they gave me a good deal to be their 6xl guinea pig.

I'm not exactly your "Normal Biker" though. It was 20° when I did the Brandon Salute.

Well, call me crazy I guess....but I don't own a gun that I don't have a use for. Somebody said that there's has been shot 100 times?....I shot more than that through each of my 1911A-1's, just making sure they would work with each mag that I have stock piled....And yes, I do realize they cost more to shoot than my High-Powers, but that's why I buy ammo in case lots....Then again, I always have been a serious sort of guy. I mean really, why else would I own and-or carry a .45 unless I was serious?...decoration?...No, not likely...LOL.

Well, I just really love the 1911 platform, but I just hardly every fire a centerfire pistol, mostly my .22 target pistols. However, I have learned the hard way that I just cant live without owning a 1911 pistol. So, I currently have a Kimber Stainless Target II in 9mm that has been fired only a box or so of ammo, but i still don't want to let it go.
