Yeah I'm new to the 1911s I've only had 1 pistol before this one I had a glock 22 40cal and that's it.trip286 said:Really, is this a trick question, or do you just know very little about guns?
That is a 1911, just a particular model of 1911. The grips say "Colt", if the slide also says "Colt", and this isn't some kind of a toy plastic gun (sorry, but the lighting kind of sucks), then yes, it's a Colt 1911.
I'm very confused. Is this an honest question? I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that most people who get their hands on a high end gun like that already know exactly what they're doing. If you honestly don't know, I invite you to stick around and do some reading.
Very well. Welcome to the greener side of the fence then!swann said:Yeah I'm new to the 1911s I've only had 1 pistol before this one I had a glock 22 40cal and that's it.

No, it's actually a Kolt...a cheap Korea knockoff of a Colt 1911. Since it's your birthday I'll be generous and give you $100 for it...My wife bought me a colt lightweight commander ,4.25" barrel,45acp,blue/black anodize model o. My question is. Is this a colt 1911?

I think he has that exact model...even has a pet name for it that I can't recall right now...Black something or other.I'd also like to invite you to go read the stickies in the 1911 sub forum. Lots of good info there. Any questions, many of us know a good deal about the 1911, but Canebrake is our resident 1911 expert. I'm sure he'd like to see this gun too, he'll probably stop in pretty soon. I think he's got either the government or officers version of the same model.
I think Canes got at least one of every 1911 Colt madeI think he has that exact model...even has a pet name for it that I can't recall right now...Black something or other.
OP, beautiful gun by the way...my offer still stands...Now get her dirty...
i think he calls it, "Black Licorice" the one Swann has looks very similar to the one Cane has. i am pretty sure Cane's Commander is also a Talo Wiley Clapp model.I think he has that exact model...even has a pet name for it that I can't recall right now...Black something or other.
