High Standard 1911,

The 1911 by Taurus is pretty high on my 'to buy' list.

Looks like this has been going for a long time. I will chime in though.

In the 60s my dad and grandfather went to a Navy surplus sale. There they bought 2 1903A3 rifles and two 1911A1s. The grand total for all four firearms was $60.00! Dad souped up his 45 and shot bullseye competition with it. Then sold it. I still have both 03s and one 45. Love them. Lot's of memories and emotion tied up in them.

Springfield Armory says SOME .22 conversion kits have a longer firing pin which could create a dangerous situation when the hammer in in the safety position. Any of you gentlemen know which conversion kits should be avoided and which are safe for the Springfield 1911-A1?

Llama Model IX-A for me. She looks strange; the only two-tone .45 ACP pistol I've ever seen. (Imagine the progeny of a Government Model Colt and a FEG PA-63, if you will...) But she shoots good and the price was right ($250 OTD including tax and a case for her bought separately).

Thinking about a smaller .45 for carry when (always be optimistic!) my CCW permit comes through. I have small hands. Any suggestions?

I traded a Glock for this customized Auto Ordnance. Not much left of the original gun except the frame and slide. Sorry the pics are so dark but my camera is broken and these are the best ones I have.

I own three Springfield Armory 1911-A1's. Great pistols, and no problems with any of them. Over the years I have shot competition mnatches with all three.
In 2007 I purchased a new Springfield Armory XD Tactical in .45ACP. My XD Tactical has the five inch barrel of course. Even though I love my S.A. 1911-A1's, I'm amazed how great my XD Tactical .45 is.
