Hello,

I ran across this article this morning and maybe of interest to some of the 1911 owners here.

www.policeone.com/concealed-carry/articles/481877006-The-case-for-the-1911/

Its a pretty neat read.

Nice to see they are finally realizing that Browning (and Saive) gave us all's we need in the way of automatic pistols.

Gun-control is created by scum-tyrants, enforced by oath-breakers and supported by fools that's too ignorant to understand the Importance of being Armed.

When America was a "free country", people could mail order machine guns without question - and that's how it should be.

I'd rather beat a bad guy to death with my Browning Hi-Power, than shoot him dead with a 'plastic' pistol.

I was bumping through the TV channels last week and came across coverage of a shooting in Colorado. One of the two detectives involved in the investigation was carrying what looked like a Wilson custom 1911 while the other detective had the ubiquitous Glock.

The Late Steve Camp carried 1911s and BHPs during his LEO career.
