Model 1911s

Was issued my first 1911 back in the 50s by the Army. Have been shooting them ever since. Carried them off duty and plain clothes once in awhile in my LE career but wheel guns were the issue, I retired 23 years ago.

Awhile back, several years ago, decided to get a 9mm and wound up with a Para Ord PDA which is a double action 1911 also only has a 3" barrel. Then decide I needed a full sized one in .38 Super, came with a rail, really accurate and I liked it. Only drawback was didn't fit many of my holsters, did fit a couple of shoulder rigs. So next I bought a plain 1911 in .38 Super, happened to be a nickel model, so had to put fiber optic sights on it. Another great shooter, now I had 3 .45s, 2 .38 Supers, a modified 9.

The modified double action 9 is a great carry gun, easy to conceal, but not a real straight 1911. To rectify that I just order a 9mm full sized 1911, will be in next week, but I won't be back till next Frid to pick it up.

Do I have a problem being addicted to 1911s?
