Welcome to TFF, Ed. Thank you four service.

I have had numerous 1911's since my service time was up. Carried them in 'Nam too.
The military issue I wasn't crazy about because it felt like it had been rebuilt to many times with mix n' match parts without regard for proper fit and accuracy. As long as it functioned and went bang it was ok for the armorer.

Just my opinion. FWIW.

My prized possession now is a Randall 1911. A flawless weapon in my opinion as long as i use a graphite based grease on the slides to prevent galling.
