Evening Winmag - excellent Saturday nite gunpron. The Colt .45, often imitated, seldom duplicated etc. I hope everyone has a chance to own or at least shoot a .45 1911. It’s quite a sidearm. Glad to hear your dad’s Colt is still in competent hands. There is some fine looking ivory polymer grips out there now. You don’t seem to see many of the nickel plated ones.
ps - went to the gunshow today, well attended, very nice stuff on most every table. Renewed old friendships, some decades old.
pps Found a good deal on a case (10 boxes) on Remington .38 Special Plus P with 125 grain jacketed hollow points. It came home with me.
while I didn’t attend a gun show, I went out to muh firin’ line and burned a hunnert rounds of hand loaded .45s thru the Para... mostly double taps at 15 yds from the holster, two steel plates served as multiple bad guys...
winmag, Series 70... I spent alotta time droolin’ over them in the cases of local gun shops... glad yer dad’s is in good hands...
osage and I made a circuitous trip on the way to STL... via Sedalia... can’t go thru Sedalia w/out a stop at Sierra Bullet Manufacturing... bought a good supply of seconds for plinkin’...
