If you have not fired a 1911, you are more than welcome to try mine sometime.

That sounds cool. I was going to take my "new" M1917 rifle to the range this past weekend, but lightening kept me away. We can trade shooting classics.

I have carried one since 1979. When I slide it out of the sharkskin holster, the aura of John Moses Browning gathers around me, and Jesus himself beams his approval from above.

Ok, maybe not. Well, except the Jesus part

But I will say I do detest 1911's in 9mm or even 22lr. I know it was built for 38 super so thats ok.
Thanks. Matt let me handle his new at the time 1911. I also have a buddy that let me shoot his. I'll get one, it's just not in this year's budget.
