Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I wasnt thinking you would sell it. Were it mine I’d get it appraised and get it insured as I doubt your standard firearms policy will cover it. your 1911 was manufactured in 1915 !!! Wahoo!!!!

Dusty Boddems Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Here ya go. It’s an old Spanish design pistol that didn’t do anything remarkable. I think Mussolini had a engraved gold plated one. The main unique feature was you could rack the slide one handed because of this lever mounted on the slide.

Dusty Boddems Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Howdy Goody! How are you doing? About this pistol, I have to agree! It also had a tip up barrel to remove a loaded round because it didn’t have an extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespaniard Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Fellas the Sistema Argentina is one great of a gun , was made under Colt Supervisión and exactly like a Colt 1911 and price is literally 1/4 of a Colt original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It is an excellent gun, but after many years since I had one, my recollection is that there are a couple of variations and everything may not be interchangeable. Not certain, what have you found? I had that same experience with a Remington 1911 which I bought and sold unused when I couldn't build it up.

DeaconKC Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Spaniard, I have a 1917 built Colt. I put Wolff springs and a Wilson Shock-buff in mine. Still shoots beautifully even with the horrible sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Page 18 of the Wild Bunch Handbook: CATEGORIESSASS Wild Bunch™ Matches recognize two basic shooting categories based on the1911 pistol. The two categories are Modern and Traditional. Requirements are asfollows:MODERN• Modern and Traditional style pistols are allowed.• May be shot in any shooting style.• Any legal rifle or shotgun may be used.TRADITIONAL• Only traditional style pistols are allowed.• Must be shot one handed unsupported (duelist style). Weak hand may be used forloading, racking slide, and in case of malfunctions.• Any legal rifle or shotgun may be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking about their local Pike category, the rules Silver Sam posted didn't specify but I am positive you can do it one-handed or two. Now, if you happen to be down around Fredericksburg or San Antonio on a second weekend, you might check out the Texican Rangers. Most months they shoot both Saturday and Sunday. There were separate Wild bunch and CAS matches on Sunday last year, but there weren't enough WB shooters to run a posse properly, so this year on Sundays there will be Cowboy 1911 category that shoots with the CAS posses. They do 4 5-round mags per stage, shooting the regular pistol instructions, then using the 1911 to shoot the rifle targets with rifle instructions, then using their rifle to shoot 6 shots at the Cody Dixon targets which are 50-70 yards out. That club also has a 4 (I think?) stage Wild Bunch side match at their annual Comancheria Days match, coming up in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
