Sweet, I love showing off my 1911s! Both Kimbers obviously, the 5" went off to tripp research for hard chrome a couple years back since the original finish was worthless and I'm not a big fan of rust. The UCII is my carry gun currently, until my G26 is ready to go.

This is my Smith and Wesson 1911.
In Massachusetts handguns have to be approved by the attorney general for sale so I could not buy a Kimber or Springfield.
Smith and Wesson offered the first MA legal 1911 and I pre-ordered one right away. Unfortunately I did not wait for a model with a light rail.
So anyways, here it is SW1911 with factory Novak sights and (2) Wilson Combat eight round magazine.
I added a Hogue full wraparound grip and (2) ten round McCormick magazines.
I like the Hogue wraparound grips, they allow me to handle the recoil extremely well.
In the future I will add a new mainspring housing with an recessed lanyard loop;and maybe a Safariland 9004

My Kimber Custom Stainless.
Almost stock... Just a different grip and mags. Over 2000 rounds easily and runs like a raped ape!

I have been seeing a lot of WC mags. Anyone have any problems with them?? I have had one 10rd mag go down on me, but that is it.

It probably just needs a new mag spring. I'm told WC ten round mags are notorious for wearing out springs, especially if you leave them loaded for long periods of time.

I have been using (2) Wilson Combat eight round magazines with 500 rounds each and have not had any magazine related problems.

I've used only Wilson 8 rounders. Very little problem with them. They function great. Like most others, the only problem that I have is when the spring is weak, it won't lock the gun open on the last round.

I'll chip in.
Here is my primary carry piece. All the work was done by Ned Christiansen, it is almost perfect (for me).
