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.
There really has not been a logical reason for an improvement since 1911. And certainly, no reason for the US military to substitute that horrible 9 mm.
Q: "Why do you carry a 1911 .45?" A: "It's what my father carried in Viet-Nam and Korea. My uncles and father-in-law carried it WWII. My grand-father and great uncle ... well, they probably carried M1917 revolvers but they WERE chambered in .45acp.
Mine's a Commander size, bobtail, like a $3200 Ed Brown, Kobra Carry, only by Tisas. All forged (except the recoil spring plug), sights are centered and perfectly sighted in for 25 yards, out of the box.. Fitment and finish is xlnt, it's a utilitarian, work of art, with cool factory grips. Only have a couple hunnert rounds through it, but no stoppages or malfs yet. The trigger is awesome, the only thing I'll change are the sights. I've had more than a dozen 1911's over the last 50 years. Got my first one in '76, same year I got my current wife. Seems to be working out.
