Luger Picture
Is this a rare Luger? It looks different than others I have seen.

Re: Luger Picture
Just a question, but from what I've picked up here Mr. Luger developed the 9mm for the Luger, was there ever a 1911-A1 ever made in 9mm for the military? I'm not sure but we pretty well stayed with .45/.38 ect until the 70s(?) in military and police. The BHPs were as close as the military
came. What about it? Roadkill |
Re: Luger Picture
No, but Colt did make the commercial Commander in 9mm as well as a very few in 30 Luger.

Yeah, but it looks like a -really nice- 1911-A1, I'd sure like to have that one hanging on -my- wall!

Sorry Dwight, Model 1911 - It can't be an -A1
 Look carefully at the photo again:
- Long trigger - flat mainspring housing - no finger relief cuts at the rear of the trigger guard the 1911A1 has a short trigger, arched mainspring housing and small half-moon reliefs at the rear of the trigger guard so short fingers can comfortably reach the trigger. How do I know? I carried one for more than 20 years... and still do when the occassion warrants it... I am U.S. Army retired ... kind regards, John |
Re: Sorry Dwight, Model 1911 - It can't be an -A1
The 1911A1 also has a longer horn on the grip safety. One major complaint for the 1911 was the hammer bite. In 1914 the spur of the hammer was lengthened, and during recoil this allowed it to reach back over the shorter horn of the 1911 grip safety and grab a piece of skin in the web between the thumb and forefinger.

Your so right Johnny P!
And all I had to do was look down at the web of my right hand to remember shooting an original 1911 without being cautious about my grip!
