Christmas came early "1911 style"

[747mopar]

What a gift! My dad gave me this for Christmas "he's never been one for waiting". I love it, the 1911 has always been my favorite hand gun along with the 45 being my choice for knock down power. Last year he got my wife a Judge (410 revolver), the man has good taste in presents.

I have my pappys old 1911 colt, he was in the south pacific 2nd marine div. amphtrac battalion, the old shoulder holster is about disintegrated but still works ok.he survived 6 beach assults and a bunch of other $hit. he was 90 when he left me 25 mos. ago.said he had to change barrels on it 3 times because of salt, sand and use. it has Plexiglas hand grips he had to make out of plane canopy and hot wire to cut it. they look primitive but i'll never replace them. I fire it regularly an have for 50 years or sinse I was 10 when he gave it to me. 1911s are one of the best of our time. thanks pap.

"Wow" Now that's really cool, I wouldn't change the handle either. My grandpa is still around and has allot of stories about the Pacific "what a proud bunch of MEN" and deservingly so.

So SWEET a gun!
Designed by John Browning.
The man was a true GENIUS!
It just fits the hand so well!

Funny thing about this Kalifornia, the JUDGE revolver...it is BANNED in this whacky state of Kalifornia

Nice nice gun!

I'm partial to the 1911's myself. It amazes me that over 100 years after the original Army contract that the only significant "improvements" we deem necessary to this platform is some minor changes to the hammer, grip safety, sights, and options for the backstrap...and it's especially interesting that these are the same changes between the original 1911 and the 1911 A1 platforms.

The design speaks for itself in its longevity, functionality and versatility. The 1911 is never the "wrong" answer, and is remarkably durable.

I hope you enjoy that fine tool!

Yep that is the case. Cannot buy one in the State as it is classified as a "Short Barrel Shotgun" and therefore an illegal weapon. If you have one keep it safely tucked away and only shoot it away from local ranges and gun clubs. Like out in the wilds and then you are OK. Funny thing is that Rossi who owns Taurus has a similar offering although it is 18 inches in length and more of a rifle than a hand gun. Know as the "Circuit Judge" it is available I believe still in the State and basically does the exact same thing as Judge. Love my Judge but it ain't going to be out much around here until things change. Love the 1911 too.......cr8crshr/Tuck
