  2. Dang it. Just as I said to myself I'd wait a bit longer for one. I am a revolver guy mostly. Semi's have no soul, except for the 1911.

  3. An image of an M-1911 was posted here (maybe) last week. My comment then (and again) is that I am in possession of my grandfather's Colt M-1911 that, according to the serial number, was manufactured in 1913. It was his NY State Militia-issued sidearm.

    1. Does it have the squared tail on the firing pin plate, where the hammer runs on it, or the later -A1 version with the rounded off version?

  7. I carried an all steel Commander until '91, from then to now, the same Glock 19. Still have a 1911, no good reason not to.
