1911a1 Rem Rand rig,with ww2 ammo

Came with holster,web belt and pouches and 2 extra mags, ammo looks to be ww2,full box.I have about 550.00 in the rig,but that was in the mid 90s,they have went up in price since then.These ww2 pistols are a good investment,at least they have been for me.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I love when you post your firearms! Beautiful! Is yours a 1944?

The 1911A1 is one of my "wish list" firearms. It's going to happen one day...just have to save up the money to do it. And if your luck is like mine, then life gets in the way too many times. Just when I get a decent chunk of change saved up then I usually have to spend it on something more essential. That's why it took me so long to get my WWII Garand. Worth the wait though.

Thanks for sharing. Drool-worthy!

Your firearm collection is top notch and this rig is a testament to the fact.

A big hole in my collection. Would love something like this.

As Robyn said, something always gets in the way.

Great rig.

Off the bang stick/gun stuff Eric (because I'm jealous) show the makers of the holster and web kit please

Fantastic group.

I'm not really a gun guy but I've always thought that I need a 1911
to display with my US fighting knives. But as you said. Prices have gone up---and up.

Very nice TC. Who is the holster maker?

**Toecutter** · 08-28-2020, 05:08 AM

Thanks guys!The holster is stamped SEARS 42,pouches look like something 42,belt has HQ markings not sure.When I bought it I figured it may not be all correct but it seems to be.The barrel is marked HS and correct for a Rem Rand made by Hi Standard, 2 mags have an R on the toe,other is an L.I know ww2 mags were maked with a letter on the toe of floor plate.I think pistol was made sometime in 1944,did they use earlier produced holster with these?
