Yet another Texas acolyte
 
Good morning from West Texas. I first saw a glimmering of light when I acquired my first 1911, an Argentine "sistema" Colt, many years ago. I have since acquired a number of additional 1911s but have not yet found my DW. I only recently learned that I might, nonetheless, become a part of this organization and work toward further enlightenment while I wait. I realize that I cannot become completely enlightened as yet, not only because I haven't encountered my (dare I say first?) DW, but, I must admit that I sometimes carry a lesser weapon than a 1911. I am trying to quit. I look forward to your guidance and I will try to be worthy.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays (Including Merry Christmas, if you're so inclined).

Will

Welcome Will :rock:

When I was a regional manager West Texas was part of my territory. I did not make it to San Angelo but did spend a bit of time in Big Springs, Midland/Odessa, and Lubbock.

Welcome to the forum. Don't worry about taking your time to find "your" DW. Clyde let me into the club and it took me a year to get my DW....

Welcome to the forum. I loved Texas when I lived in San Antonio from 1973-1976. I wouldn't worry too much about not having a DW 1911 yet, as my felow forum members will most certainly lead you astray in that direction.

Merry Chrismas.

Well, we can see where you are coming from!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I don't have an STI, yet, either.

My 1911s:

1927 Argentine Colt ('sistema' for many) .45ACP
Colt's Series 80 Government Model .45ACP
Colt's Series 80 Government Model .45ACP
Colt's Commander (1976, so it's a LW) .45ACP
Springfield Armory .45ACP (3" V10)
Peters-Stahl 10mm

1911 style:
Para-Ordnance LDA Carry .45ACP

Star PD .45ACP
Star BM 9mm
Star BKM 9mm
Star DK .380ACP


Of course, I have some other stuff but, not worth mentioning (since they're not 1911s:D.

Best,

Will
