any one reading this forum knows how i feel about the 1911's. To me nothing compares but it goes much deeper ,as a texas farm boy in 1970 joining the military it was the first automatic pistol i ever fired . That was when the attraction and respect began. I would go on to carry one in combat and use it for my defense and the lives of others, there is no deeper bond between a soldier and his weapon than that.Since then i have perhaps owned hundreds ,sold and traded . The ones i have kept are dear to me.That being said ,just how much will you fire one??? Will the frame and parts stand up???? Is the heat treating correct???? Is the cheaper price worth staking your life on???? Ask these questions and think about it before you buy , my regards Padre
