MY guns! Enjoy!

[BrucesReps]

A few have requested that I post some pics of some of my weapons which caused me to leave the world of watches somewhat abruptly... I had a new itch..... GUNS!

Well, as promised, here are a few shots of some of the pieces I have acquired!

Although not a gun, i had to post my surefire delta titanium!

 

[BrucesReps]

Oh, and I got this today in a trade for my ak in 1st pic... S&W sw1911pd!

By the way, I duracoated the glocks and my AR myself

 

[MrYesterday]

You're a lucky man... If I had 1/4 that many guns my wife would shoot me with one of them. I'm not even joking. lol

 

[alexfilipov]

S&W 1911 is great Congrats and I'm waiting for some pics. Here's one, laser-modded

 

[Anopsis]

Nice setup Bruce. Naturally, I'd like to see the 1911s a little better.

Especially the blued Colt in the bottom left row. Can you take some closer pics of that one for me?
Actually, that one and the satin-nickel one three above it. Got a thing for older Colts.

ETA: What's the two-tone one above the Kimber? Actually, could you just list what they are in order? Might help the less gun-educated around here. :thumbsup:

1911's(first pic): Nickel is Colt series 80, next is my bastard child custom built by me and brownells(All innards are a mixture of ed brown and wilson combat and the slide stop, grip safety, hammer, and trigger are STI), then my tac ops and my colt pre 70(a few new parts installed like trigger, slide stop, safety, beavertail safety, wolff recoil spring. All parts are ed brown)

next 1911 is a Springfield GI NM serial

Then my trusty double stack Para Ordnance p14-45

And finally my sw1911pd

 

[BrucesReps]

Here you go Anopsis. My cam quit before I could get a shot of the nickel colt. Had to install a different hammer on the pre 70, the other wouldn't engage for some reason(This is my FAVORITE carry gun so it needs to be flawless when it comes to functioning and reliability)

 

[Anopsis]

Sigh... Bruce, I really had hoped this wouldn't be the case, but you're destroying your credibility here. Not only are there numerous inaccuracies in your description, but the followup pic is not of the same gun.

Let's review a few items:

next is my bastard child custom built by me and brownells(All innards are a mixture of ed brown and wilson combat and the slide stop, grip safety, hammer, and trigger are STI)

No, they're not. That's a three-hole Videki-style trigger, not the STI trigger. The hammer looks like a Springfield Loaded hammer, not even close to any STI version. Beavertail might be a Wilson; hard to say for sure on that one.

One could make the assumption that you've simply forgotten what parts you've used, but given the familiarity required to hand-fit the parts yourself, you'd likely know the differences as well as I.

BUT...

Then there's this...

my colt pre 70(a few new parts installed like trigger, slide stop, safety, beavertail safety, wolff recoil spring. All parts are ed brown)

Trigger - factory Colt short A1
Slide stop - can't tell, but I'm sure it's Colt.
Safety - Factory Colt A1 short safety
"Beavertail" safety - factory Colt grip safety, non-beavertail design

Ed Brown doesn't make anything that even remotely resembles the factory Colt military-spec parts on this totally stock (and beautiful) old Colt.

Now the farce goes even further...

Here you go Anopsis. My cam quit before I could get a shot of the nickel colt. Had to install a different hammer on the pre 70, the other wouldn't engage for some reason(This is my FAVORITE carry gun so it needs to be flawless when it comes to functioning and reliability)

No, you didn't install a 'different hammer'. The hammer on this gun is a Colt factory Commander hammer, as is appropriate for the Combat Commander pistol it's shown on.
This Commander is also a beautiful old Colt, except for the hideous 'drop in' beavertail grip safety someone added to it. The biggest tell between this one and the above example isn't the different hammer; it's the fact that the Commander barrel is 4.25" vs. the Government model's 5" long barrel. Somehow your gun shrunk 3/4 of an inch!

Unfortunately these issues completely negate the validity of the claims. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised you attempted it knowing that this is my trade.

In the future please do not do this. Thanks.

 

[BrucesReps]

Excuse me? All parts were sold to me as what I described them as. And yes I did install a different hammer. The pre 70 in the first pic is indeed the

Excuse me. Wilson combat. The 2 colts you say are different are the same

Unless of course I copied the wrong picture from photobucket. But I don't believe so.

The bastard child was put together by gunsmith here in town. All the parts were bought second hand at a gun show(except the slide and frame and grip safety) and all were indeed sold as what I listed them as. I am in no way trying to represent this information as false. And I apologize for being taken for a fool but I've been as forthcoming and truthful as I could.

How did you go from working for Dynamic Security, living in Section 8 housing, and watching Transformers on your 19" television to this in the matter of a few months?

eta- I see a 17L/24 and a 34/35, but not two G34's as you claim in the post in my "Funstore" thread.

I love shooting 4 specific calibers.... 9mm, .380, .45ACP, and .40. I am deadly accurate with all 4, especially the .45.... I currently own a few decent basic 1911 pistols... my llama, Springfield GI, and a cheap rock island. I also have a s&w sw99 .40 cal and a bersa .380 duotone.

Guess who re-joined the 1911 club!
That's right! I know its a cheapie but would rather spend what I spent and get alot than spend a lot and just get a gun! I got this Charles Daly 1911 with 2 sets hogue grips, 150 rounds of FMJ, an OWB leather holster, and a box of personal defense red dot and STILL walked out with over $200!!!! They even threw in a redline torch!

Anopsis is a Moderator, and a bit more diplomatic than I am.

You have a serious credibility issue with the things that you post in this particular (The Gun Safe) forum.

Why don't you just come clean now?

Bruce,

The second pic is clearly a Colt Combat Commander. This model was designed to use a 4.25" barrel and slide instead of the Government model's 5" barrel and slide. The difference in the slide length can be seen in the length of the scalloped cut at the front of the slide.

It was the Commander that Colt made the ring-style hammer specifically for; all 1911s that use a rounded hammer these days use a skeletonized version of the Commander hammer. No one other than Colt ever made the hammer quite like this one.

As you can see in the pic, not only is your second gun indeed shorter by the aforementioned amount as described, the hammer is also correct for the gun and has not been swapped out.

The foreground Combat Commander pic is of MY pre-70 Colt. The Gov't model in the background is a google find for comparison.

Comparing these two factory-spec guns to the two you've provided pics of and there is no doubt that they are NOT the same gun.

Now, if this isn't proof enough, you can easily make me gracefully bow out by posting a pic of the gun tagged, just as we do with sales.

That would certainly prove it's the correct gun, and I'm wrong. The shorter slide must be an optical illusion...

just as the garish grip safety on the second one (absent in the first) must be a trick of the imagination!

Lastly...

You said your camera died before you could take a pic of the satin finish Colt; certainly it's had time to charge up since then...

First off IDK, those posts/threads were from LAST year. I buy, sell, trade LOTS of guns. And since then I have owned some of the best and worst. And PLEASE change that stupid Avatar of my Security badge!

Anopsis, 1st. I admit, I did not take the 2nd pic last night, it is a pic from myphotobucket. 2nd. I will not post a tagged picture of a firearm on this or any forum. You want to label me a liar, fraud what have you, go right ahead. I know what I have and what I've had.

However... Anopsis, if you would like to get together sometime and shoot, I'd be happy to do so. Could always use another shooting buddy.

 

[trailboss99]

Bruce, even I know a Combat Commander and a Gov Model are clearly not the same gun.
Frame, slide, barrel, all different. I'm not sure WTF is going on here but you, I and Anopsis all know there is no way those are the same weapon so please stop insisting they are.

 

[Ben39]

Wow, stunning!!

If you were buying and selling that many 1911's within a 7 day period that makes you an undocumented/unlicensed dealer. Just what the firearms community needs right now with Fast and Furious and all of the other stuff going on that the "anti's" are jumping on........

You didn't address the obvious gaffe in regards to the two G34's that you CLAIM to own and is not supported by the pic that you posted.

You have no clue what variations of the 1911 you have shown that you CLAIM to own.

Many of those pics that you posted last year from your photobucket account have been deleted and are now MIA, why?

And as far as my avatar goes......

Tough luck, deal with it. You posted up that pic on the internet here-

and it became fair game. How do you think that I found out about Dynamic Security? I bet they really appreciate your posting that up like you did.

Oh, and did you know that I have a family member that is a branch manager for Garda in Nashville (and he knows EVERYONE at the local and state level in regards to security services).

I highly suggest you stay out of this arena and keep your virtual teeth together (if you don't want to embarrass yourself further). You are still young and can learn from this lesson (or can remain young/foolish and not).

Totally your choice.
