LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Been wearing one version of it all day. Never seen a photo of JMB with a 1911 in hand, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 12 hours ago, DocWard said: And on my birthday too! How about that! Happy Birthday Doc I haven’t owned a 1911 in 17 years. My last one was a Colt 1991A1. My daughter has that one now. My first Colt 1911 was the one I bought right after I got out of the Navy. A Colt’s Combat Gov’t series 70. What a great pistol that one was. I compare every 1911 I have owned or fired since to that one. That is one gun that I truly regret selling. Every time I pick up a modern 1911 today they just don’t have any appeal for for me. If I could afford to replace my original I definitely would, but I’d bet it just wouldn’t be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
