And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
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.
Dad's carry piece was a Colt Commander in 38 Super
ReplyDeleteDang 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.

ReplyDeleteDoes 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?
Delete... with the rounded off surface?
DeleteI'll have to check and get back to you...
DeleteElegant. Anybody know who did the work?
ReplyDeleteI bought a Commander in .38 Super in 1973. Still have it.
ReplyDeleteI had the combat commander 45 iin nickle silver. Loved it madly, gave to son and got a Sig Sauer P220 and also a Glock 30S. Huge fan of 45's
ReplyDeleteI carried an all steel Commander until '91, from then to now, the same Glock 19. Still have a 1911, no good reason not to.
ReplyDeleteGood malt liquor!
ReplyDeleteWho makes that mag with the plated baseplate? Love it!
