A 1911 was the second pistol I learned to shoot. It was a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match. It is a very accurate gun and I still have it after about 35 years.
One of my Marine Gunny uncles had his WWII Pacific bring-back and he taught me to shoot on it.
Loved it from get-go.
My son loves to shoot mine. He’s already claimed it, and I’m still here... (damned brat!!!) :^)
