Wow, if it could only tell the stories!

I can't believe how high the ejection port is- it looks way higher than the current crop of "mil-spec" 1911's. Put into perspective, just how much they cut out in a "lowered and flared" port.

Snag free sights- the Army was ahead of it's time!

Super cool, TAM, thanks for posting it!

That's the one I'd pick, without even having to think about it! Few things (guns or otherwise) represent America and Her spirit better than that!

A salute to The Annoyed Dad!

Do you have any pics of it that you wouldn't mind posting?

For me- it's my STI 1911 Not a BBQ gun in the traditional sense but since I carry it often and I BBQ often- it's a workhorse BBQ gun! And since it's not plastic, it won't melt next to the fire!
