Congrats on a truly beautiful slabside. Gawd, how I love M1911s. Had the occasion about 33 years ago to .. one in a gunfight during the unpleasantries in S.E. Asia. Very impressive effects on moving human targets. Sorta flipped him, cart wheel style, into the air when hit with a lower buttock shot from the enfilade.

I know the guy was on the morning report at Uncle Ho's Surgical Evac Hospital the next day and I think his morale musta been low. Bet he can predict a change in the weather before the weatherman, just as I can now. Amazing how war wounds stick around. Amazing what one of those fishing sinkers can do at 850 FPS.

Told Number 2 son, who is out ... hunting, to always use a M1911 if he could; luckily he is with a ...and he said"Dad, we don't use those Beretta ***** mouse guns." Also advised him, like he needs advice from this old fart, always shoot 'em twice. Ammo is cheap.

Loving 45 ACP almost as much as Navy Lugers,

Tom A.
