When I first got into 'handgun' shooting it was with revolvers. My first 'handgun' was a S&W Model 10 in .38 Special. I had and shot that for quite awhile and was 'saving up' for a .357 Magnum! (At that time I liked to shoot, but wasn't yet a 'gun nut', and really didn't know much about guns).
My local dealer got in about 6 WWII vintage 1911A-1's, Ithacas and Reminton-Rands, all in excellent condition. I was in the store with a buddy and he immediately had to buy one (Rem-Rand). The price was right, so I threw down the credit card and became the owner of an Ithaca 1911A-1. We each bought 2 boxes of hardball. We went to the range and the rest is history....
My second 1911 was a Series 70 all steel Colt Commander... since then I've owned around 50 various 1911's. Don't plan to ever be without one. Right now I have a 1968 mfg Colt Govt, 1915 mfg Colt Commercial Govt, and a 1942 mfg Colt 1911A-1 frame with a Series 70 top end that does 1/2 time with a Colt .22 Conversion Unit.
It's a sickness for sure, that has no cure!!
