Thanks
The hardest part of having that Colt is restraining myself from shooting it. I have another .45, an Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 that I am considering selling to help fund a Colt Series 70 that I can shoot whenever I like!
I couldn't help myself when I first got the M1911 though. I'll put a mag through it every July 4th, I think, but I had to shoot it once when I got it, just to see
This was my last 8 rounds of 50, offhand, at 33 feet. At 92 years old, that old girl can still
shoot
One of my favorite things about the old .45 is it's family tree is so easy to see in another old pistol I really like- my Colt 1903, from 1920. Those are the original grips, which I've stored away. I'm afraid that they are a little soft and I don't want to damage them. I think they got really soaked in cleaner over the years
