Gunney, on another board, started me thinking with "no-frills functional, everything you need, nothing you don't 1911." I guess that is what describes my Ballester-Molina and most of my 1911s. For years I have tortured SAC with my on going search for the ideal car/truck/carry handgun. So you want to see examples of my no-frills functional, everything you need, nothing you don't 1911s, don't you? Look below. Regards, Richard ;D

Those are some impressive looking guns:up:

[Mr T]

:D I guess you are a little partial to the 1911. Very nice collection. T

[wilkerson]

i also have a systema, and liked it very much, until i took it to the wrong gunsmith.

[ExSniper]

Great guns!

There is nothing more no frills/functional than an as issued M1911A1. Improved sights would be the only change that is a real necessity.

That is God's own truth! Everything thing else is nice and unnecessary. A good sight package... and the same configuration you learned on. :up:

[Sir Knight]

I can't speak for the others but my Para LDA's ...

http://fud-files.netfirms.com/image/private/guns/f111.jpg

... only function flawlessly with FMJs -- HP's aren't very reliable.

[OFallon]

So, Alan... send me the C12 and I'll work on it and get it cranking HP's for you - no cost! :D It might take awhile... but, it'll be free! ;)

[Richard]

OFallon, My Para 12 eats everything. If you doubt me, meet me at a range. Regards, Richard:D

[Sir Knight]

I guess you lucked out.

[Popeye]

My Paras, all four of them, digest everything I give them and I give them everything.

Its possible, Alan, that you got unlucky.

[Williamlayton]

No frills and functional.
Sigs.
STI's.
Worth making functional.
Colts.

What wrong with FRILLS? I like frills. I am frilling one, as we speak. I have frilled several others. It is fun to frill. Frills can look good. Frills may not help function but they make functional look good.
