John D,

Yes, my guns are for me not the guy who owns them next. I have about 3 (maybe 4 or was that 5 ??) 1911s that have been heavily modified by several retired service armorers over the last 35 years before the Wilson, Brown, etc. guns came on the market. My guns might have been worth maybe $1000 today to collectors if unmodified but I personally have reduced their value to maybe $400 or 500. But I have had many years of fun with them and two of them will shoot one hole groups at 25 yards all day long with my reloads. I won lots of trophys with them in club shoots before I wore out my ears.

Anyway, I intend to use the 9 mm for much of my shooting now (I now have about 1200 rounds through it--why not, I have owned it maybe 4 months) since Wal-Mart ammo is so cheap. I would put a Bo-Mar or S&W revolver sight on my '36 Mauser, reduce the trigger pull to 3#, and change to an extended safety if this was practical. Oh well, I can shoot the 1911 and admire the Lugers.
