Default 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
