Today is the 100th year anniversary of the adoption of the 1911 as the official sidearm of the US military.

Post your favorite 1911 related pics.

Here is one of mine:

Now I know why I was born the next day! And, y'know, 76 years later.

Are you saying you go both ways?

I'm so tired of the print and TV media's fascination with 1911's that I could spit nickels. Every gun magazine (except Handloader) has at least one 1911 article and one AR article per month. I was going to subscribe to Handloader at the end of my trial subscription, but darned if they didn't devote half of the last issue to the anniversary of the 1911.

The only reason I plan on buying 1911's is because everyone has convinced me that no collection is complete without a 1911. Otherwise, I just don't "get it"

Well, I guess before you could celebrate this anniversary for glock, it would have to first be adopted by the military. But we could celebrate it's manufacturing date........(well celebrate or mourn depending on your perception).

Let it be known that I own a 1911.

Well, could it be because about every manufacturer makes a 1911?????? That's a lot of advertising dollars to ignore.......no?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to one of Mr. Brownings finest inventions. You can put me in the love 'em category.

Some of my favorite guns are the brainchild of John Moses Browning... 1911's and of course my namesake... the Hipower.:cool:

Here is to 100 years of the finest handgun ever ever designed.

This thread is most definitely worth my first post. Happy 1911 day EVERYONE, and thank you JMB, I thank God for you

[Guest rebeldrummer]

I need/want one....

[timcalhoun]

Enjoy this blast from the past.

[Guest Blown4v]

when I have everything else on my list, I'll get one

That being said, a buddy has several and I like them all, but I have other things on the list first

100 years is an accomplishment for sure, something must work

[GKar]

Went out and celebrated this evening...appropriately, of course. One Colt, one Springer in my collection. After I got my first one, the wife and my son both sent rounds downrange with it...they now each own their own. +1 to JMB!

[Guest Aces&8s]

Got my first a couple of weeks ago... it will not be my last!!

Everyone needs a 1911. But they're like potato chips, so watch out.

[Guest Tn.Mitch]
