I'll start it off......

1) Someone asks what magazines you subscribe to, and you reply, "Single Stack."

2) Someone says, let's play "Hardball," and you immediately think, "...but semi-wadcutters make nicer holes"

3) Somebody asks how old you are and you say "45".

4) Your license plate number is 1911A1

5) You get really upset when somebody says they don't like the 1911.

6) You think that Jeff Cooper is an idiot, except for his opinions of the 1911.

11) You smile whenever you see or hear the number 45. (age 45, page 45, etc.)

You clean the thing after every 300 rounds, like a piece of jewelry - then hold it an look at if for two hours after cleaning it.

When a $2000 price tag and a one year wait sounds perfectly reasonable

You clean it every single time you shoot it, then look at it for two hours.

You know all of the parts by part number.

You move to the ghetto, name your kid "1911-A1", and get a 1911 tatoo on your forehead.

When you have memorized the entire 1911 parts inventory at both Brownell's and Midway -- to include pricing.

BamBams: Doesn't everybody know that ;) I like the Wilson Combat catalog because it has an exploded view of the 1911-A1 labeled with their part numbers, and they keep the parts in inventory.
