I've owned about 50+ guns since I started buying back in 2008 but I buy and sell to fund bigger purchases. I also own several guns overseas but I'm unable to legally bring them over to the United States.
None of the images are mine unless specifically stated. Images belong to their respective owners.

Double down… (Para-Ordnance Black Ops 1911’s. They look identical but the one in the foreground has Millet adjustable rear sights whereas the 1911 in the background has standard sights. Note the two magazines pictures; one is single stack, the other is the double stack that brought Para-Ordnance much fame for making a hi-cap 1911.)

Colt Delta Elite (Someone mentioned that Colt reintroduced these and still sells them. That is correct, though the new version supposedly address some of the flaws and weaknesses in the original. I haven’t seen an original Delta compared to a newer Delta so I don’t know any exterior differences. Note that this one seems to have a magazine loaded with 10mm Black Talon ammo.)

Para-Ordnance NiteHawg (This is basically a pitch black version of the Warthog with night sights. A compact and easily concealable mini-1911, it has a capacity of 10 rounds. Recoil can be quite a handful on these. Not necessarily the cheapest CCW choice, price ranges around $650 to $800.)

Custom Fusion Arms 1911 (This is a 1911 chambered in the devastating 10mm round. Has a 6” barrel which some consider to be “longslide” characteristics. This one is not a cheap entry level gun; price tag at around $2,100+.)

Springfield Armory Operator (Custom grips on this two-tone 1911 example. It’s a nice looking gun but for practical use I’d probably stick to a Hogue or Crimson Trace grip.)

Colt Ace (This is technically a training pistol for the 1911. To help military and law enforcement get accustom to the .45 ACP the Ace was chambered in .22 LR. In doing so they could get used to the sights and handling without the recoil and cost back in the day. The price for these seems to fluctuate depending on on what year of production and condition; some sell for $2,000+.)

Ebony & Ivory (Two contrasting Colt Delta Elites, a 1911 chambered in the potent 10mm caliber. No longer produced after the failure of the 10mm round to catch on with law enforcement, coupled with the rise of the 40 S&W round. Many 1911 gunsmiths still offer 10mm builds.)

Springfield Armory Operator (This one has the full monolithic underside rail. Not a cheap 1911 variant; it can cost upward of $2,000. You also have to be quite patient since these are only available through Springfield Armory’s custom shop. The turn around time could be 10 months before your pistol is done being built.)

Para-Ordnance Warthog (A conceal carry compact 1911. This has a 3” barrel and a total capacity of 10+1 rounds of .45 ACP. I suppose the term “Baby 1911” can be used because it really is just a tiny if not adorable 1911.)

American Arms… (A trio of some of Americas most iconic and beloved firearms; the M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine and the 1911. The oldest one there, the 1911, is still in service but more so with law enforcement than with the military.)
