Kimber Stainless Target II
Springfield 1911A1 WW2 Reproduction
Springfield 38 Super I got at a friends of the NRA auction(still unfired)
The WW2 repro is honestly almost as good a shooter as the Kimber. The sights bite the big one though.
The other springfield was bought mainly for the tax break. I'll sell it when the right buyer comes along.

I have several - in fact the only handguns that I have that are not 1911's are an LAR GRizzly .45 WinMag (which is really a BIG 1911) and an S&W .22 target pistol. Some of mine are custom pieces that I built but even as nice as they are the two that get carried the most are a particular Kimber Custom II and a Kimber BP Ten II.
By the way, I hear a lot of people talk trash about the Rock Island 1911's. I have come to find out that these people are usually parrots(repeat what they hear, not smart enough to talk on their own) and have never had any experiance with RIA's. I've built quite a few customs on the RIA frames, and everyone that I have recommended them to is more than tickled with them.
Over the last year at the shop we returned about 70% of the Springfield pistols we sold for operational problems, we've never had an RIA come back!?
It seems also that the Charles Daly 1911's are pretty nice pistols for a reasonable price. We recently ordered one for a customer and were pleasently surprised at how nice it was! The only problem that we saw was the big "CHARLES DALY" down the side of the slide.
