Does this old 1911 have a hole at the end of the slide? Why yes it does.

The story is that during the battle on Iwo Jima, a Japanese sniper took aim at a young American Marine. After passing through his wrist, the bullet was mostly stopped by the Colt 1911 he was wearing on his hip, no doubt saving his life. It has been in the soldiers family ever since.

What a great family relic! Read the whole story here.
