What make is the GI model?

'Tis a Remington Rand 1911a1.

So it’s the real deal! That is a bucket list pistol.

This is an old picture. I've added more since this was taken.  

 

1959 Colt Commander .45acp. My EDC. 

 

CMP 1911. 1942 Colt frame with an Ithica slide. 

 

1964 Clark Longslide. Still as accurate today as when it was made.

I'm small potatoes compared to some of you.

The Colt 1911 was my father's. I'm 65, and I remember him bringing it home when I was 8 or so, and how heavy it was then. I keep waiting for the Mustang to grow up.

Sadly all mine were.....well...

Not the only 1911 I own, but my favorite.  STI Trojan 9mm.  My only regret about this gun is not getting its twin in .45 back before STI went exclusively tacti-cool.

My Sig We The People 1911 and my Sig  Carry (Commander size) model 1911.

Thanks!  It started life as a blue carbon steel gun.  STI's bluing is sometimes iffy and I apparently have alien acid sweat.  After six months of hard use, it looked like a WW2 Remington Rand and I sent it to STI to get hard chromed before it completely rusted away.  When it came back and I opened the box, I just about lost my composure.  Some have thought it's just a safe queen, but it has 20-25K rounds through it and has won eight or ten IDPA ESP division titles.  In some other thread I think I said a Glock 34 is my all time favorite handgun.  I may have lied...
