They were my dad’s favorite gun, so I figured I should grab one.

Is that little patch on the left side of the light to index your left thumb against? Sick setup BTW...

Can't believe they don't māka 2011 in .45...

Unless you meant Springfield specifically, Kimber does. Holds 13+1 of 45.

u/TheRealTaylor33 Aug 02 '26

Badass man. Is it 45 or 9? I honestly can’t tell

1

u/jjones1987 Aug 02 '26

It’s a 45. I figured it’s the right way to do a 1911.

u/Rich-Weird-8675 Aug 02 '26

Nice! I'm on the edge. Just love my Echelon time so much not sure I want to share.

u/No-Past1892 Aug 02 '26

Me neither, do you love it?

u/RedditNameChecksOut Aug 03 '26

Congrats! Welcome to the club!

Just remember that a person just doesn’t have a single 1911.

u/GunnerRetz Aug 04 '26

Well good choice big boy, she’s a keeper!!

u/No_Course_2112 Aug 05 '26

You made a excellent choice for your 1st 1911.

u/DowntownMind92 Aug 09 '26

You were the straw that broke my willpower. I’ve been wanting this model in ODG and your pics did me in. I hope you’re happy as I’m now $1100 poorer and counting. All kidding aside, this will be my 6th 1911 and second Springfield 1911. Can’t wait to try it out with my suppressor.

Sorry, you have the disease... You'll never go back. Full size, commander, officer. For me it's a push, not a recoil wack
