New to this Forum but not to JMB & looking forward to learn, share & contribute.

Former Military Policeman (early 1970s) and long-time lover of the 1911. I owned a 1945-vintage Colt example but sold it before moving overseas... and seriously regret that decision now. I'm interested in acquiring a clean, back-to-basics GI-style pistol; whether domestic or foreign is yet to be...

Hello, I’m new here and from CT. I am a long-time 1911 fan and just discovered this forum. I am a collector and gunsmith. Looking forward to the group. - Rob

I found a few Herman folders that really caught my eye, but I'm hung up on steel. For normal outdoor use, camp chores, and everyday carry, would you go MagnaCut or M390?

I’m on the lookout for a skilled artisan who creates custom handmade hunting knives. I believe there are a few on this platform, but I’m not sure who they are. My wife recently killed a 160-inch whitetail deer, and my 10-year-old son also successfully hunted his first deer this year. I’m looking...

Hi all (I just joined the Forum) I just came home with this awesome old Springfield Armory M1911-A1 Cal .45 (so cool!) I'm pretty sure it's from the late 1980s (see below), but I'm having trouble pinning down the exact year of manufacture (serial Number NM42905). I'm gonna call Springfield...

Hi everybody, so I have a small but nice 1911 collection, two Les Baers, a 1943 GI Colt, and a 1918 Colt, all in original condition. I just bought a mixed and matched Colt 1911 with a 1919 commercial frame, a WW2 era slide, incorrect slide stop, thumb safety and magazine. Lanyard loop has been...

I bought a post-WW2, pre-seventies 19ll barrel from Ebay that had the usual COLT .45 AUTO stamped on it, and just under .45 was a little V-shaped mark or logo of some kind. Anyone know what that signifies?

I'm so excited to be a member of this forum. God bless you all. Thanks

Hey everyone, 1911 Fanatics is now available inside the Gather app, and we'd love a handful of members to help us test it. Best part: you don't need to create a brand-new forum account. Just sign up / log in using the same email address you use on 1911 Fanatics and it should link...

Does anyone know what kind of inscription was stamped on the magazine base plates of the Mark IV Series 70?

Anyone familiar with a smith named Marc Krebs that built some beautiful 1911s in the late 90s. Have you ever heard of one model he called the point man. Or his STI 2011s on 40 cal

I'd like to get a threaded barrel for my Government Model 1911A1, pre-1970s, and there are a number of outfits out there that sell 1911 threaded barrels. Any advice on any of the barrels offered that might fit or require the least fitting for my particular gun?
