Re: OT: Hunting vs. Off-roading
Hi Sandman,
The price was used, unfired, and the fact "you" can't buy one, as
they were only in production a year. It's kind like owning a Real
Browning .45. ;-)

I didn't much like the idea of carrying cocked and locked at first,
but with the safety and the grip safety I guess setting it off
accidently would take some doing.
This 1911 I inherited from my Dad...according to the serial number
it's a 1918 build and the first thing anyone who handles it says is
how tight it is. I know it's had more rounds fired through it in the
last 2 years than I can remember for the rest of my life. In fact I
may go buy a box of shells today, just for kicks

according to everything ive read, carrying with the hammer down (on a 1911
anyway) on a loaded chamber is responsible for more accidental discharges
than all other methods combined. it took a little getting used to,
especially by my wife and mom who both know i carry but both dropped their
jaws the first time they saw the hammer was cocked. even though the thumb
strap goes between the hammer and firing pin, i guess it does look scary.

what make is that? ive owned many 1911s but never an original like that.
the fact that it functions so well now is proof of a superior design.
