It's hard to pick a favorite, but it would probably come down to one of these two:

If I had to choose though, it would probably be the 1911 since I built it myself.

Well, I used a Rock Island Armory high capacity frame as the base for it. It was the only steel high capacity frame I could find, and one of the few that was not cut for a ramped barrel.

The grip safety, mainspring housing, and hammer came from Sarco. Getting the wide spur hammer and wide grip safety to work together was a bit of a chore, but I love the way it looks.

The long slide, six inch barrel (.45 ACP), and sights were obtained from Fusion Arms. They also carry a plunger that allows for the use of a regular recoil spring. It works fine with a regular length guide rod. The bushing is GI National Match.

When I do might part correctly, bullets hit exactly where I want them to.

Only one problem: she's heavy.
