    Four generations of Colt 1911

    I came somewhat late to the 1911 platform and older Colts. When I turned 18 and had the right to buy guns, Hollywood action movies were all the rage (Lethal Weapon, Schwarzenegger, Die Hard etc..) so my early inclination was towards the pistols seen in those movies such as the Beretta 92 and the Desert Eagle.

    My first 1911 was a Stainless Delta Elite on sale at the LGS, built 1991 but bought new in 2000, they were slow movers then, at least here in Switzerland. Only in 2013 did I develop a real interest and started buying more of them, reaching abt 15 today, mostly Colts.

    But today I thought I’d post just 4 of them, all from a different generation :

    1913 - 1911
    1943 - 1911 A1
    1970 - Government Model (commercial)
    1977 - Government Model Mark IV / series’ 70





















    That’s it, that’s the post.

    Very cool!! You definitely need a 5th (or maybe even 6th????) gen 1911 to complement this collection. Perhaps their rail gun or newer USMC model (forget the exact model designation off the top of my head).
