Hello all. I purchaesed a 1911 a few years ago and I am not sure what I have. I looked up the serial number and it said that it could be a Union Switch ands Signal or a Colt. It has a Colt slide but does not say colt on the frame. On the mag release side behind the triger are the letters GHD, on the trigger guard on the fron is a W. The serial number is 1687155. There are crossed cannons on the side just forward of the hammer. There is also some writing on the frame above and forward of the serial number. I can sen pics but can't figure out how to upload them here.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi bmekosh,
Given the choice, I'd take a Springfield. I'm seeing too many Kimbers that are breaking parts.
Good luck,
Mike

I'm happy with my Colt 1991 Gov't (5") in Stainless.

For a first Springfield, maybe a Mil-spec:

A better springfield? A Champion! (?PX9142L)

A little fancier in a Springfield? The TRP!

And my favorites? Para-Ordnance.
Companion-Carry Option (CC745S) & CCW (CCW745S) models:

And I've been looking at this Kimber for some time (Stainless Pro Carry II)

E-mail me for links to the best prices.

I have a springfield and i love it. No jams with the factory mag, but with a cheep no-name mag it would jam. I have shot a kimber that a friend has and it was a very nice gun but I didn't shot it any more accuratly than the springfield. My advice is go with the springfield and save a few bucks.
