Default Hello from New Guy in Orlando

Hey there, new member in Orlando. I have more 1911's than brains:

SS Valor
Wilson Xtac
Ed Brown LW Kobra Carry
Colt New Agent
Colt 80 series SS
Colt 1999 US Military Academy Stainless Commander
Capsian 10mm full size
.460 Rowland full size conversion
Colt 80 series full size
Caspian titanium frame, NOS Colt officer slide/bbl
Fusion Commander w/rail
Ruger Commander
Colt Wiley Clapp LW Commander
Springfield 9mm Commander size
Springfield compact
Sig C3 w/ ct grips
Gold Cup .22
maybe a couple more I can't think of, oh yes Detonics SS compact too.

I'm just happy to join a group that understands the addiction. I began shooting 1911's in US Army as MP then Crim Invest, then as LEO. I medically retired from Army then just medically retired as lawyer for 30 years after bad result from cervical fusion.

I was attached to marksmanship unit after sniper school and got as much ammo as I needed. Funny, I've gone full circle having searched for the perfect carry pistol high and low and I keep coming back to the old slabsides.

I also have a Bren Ten in .45 ACP, unfired, one of 250 that's pretty cool just sitting there in the safe.

I look forward to being part of a like minded group, most of my friends don't understand. Most of the lawyers I know are wimps and I tend to hang with gun guys and offshore fishermen.

My wife carries a CW9 and actually does better with my New Agent .45 with CT grips, so I guess it's hers now.

Funny, she wanted to buy me a gift (I'm hard to buy for) and she went on a website and inquired as to the availability of the Singer 1911 she heard me speak about. When she found they cost the same as a new house, she gave up!

Thanks for having me.
