My favorite 45 acp…

I haven’t shot pistols much these days however I still keep one in a walnut box, my friend in Haden ID does all the custom work as I have no skills for that stuff.
The ivory grip gun caught the eye of my youngest daughter and well you can guess what happened after that.

Rock Island is as much as I can afford.


Thats understandable.

In that price range , I would look at the military armament corporation DS9. That was my first 2011 ish gun, and I don't know that you can get more for the money

I'm a recovering 1911 addict so I've had a few 45 autos. I suppose my favorite 45 auto is the first one I bought around 1994. A Les Baer Premier 2. It has a LBxxxx serial number. After I learned more about them I realized a few things that were done on this pistol were a "hack job". However one thing about that pistol amazes me - the front strap checkering was done by hand and its it's beautiful.

I've since whittled down my 1911 inventory but have a well used assortment that I shoot. 45acp, 9mm luger, 38 Super Auto, 40 S&W, 10mm Auto.
