Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I still remember the old days when people would joke about companies like S&W, Ruger and SIG making their own 1911s. Still waiting for Glock or Beretta to make one. And yes I've seen the ha-ha picture of a Glock G1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go back and get this! 3 mags with it too! Good price great gun. Have 2, one is a full size stainless like this one but my serrations are straight diagonal rather than scalloped. The other is a Sc (scandium) version in commander size with laser grips, very light but a little snappy when shooting it. Both feed anything and are very accurate.

Amigo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Looks like a nice find! I remember signing out M1911s from the MP unit co-located with my Ordnance unit at our remote site back in the 80's in Germany for Pay Officer duties...you could shake those pistols and everything would rattle and clank around inside those things!

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I used to think I didn't need a 1911. And now I'm pretty sure one can't have too many 1911s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
