Well, amazing we won two world wars with such a piece of crap.
I used one for 32 years in the Army and have my own Model 70 without any problems.
Oh, yeah. After seven shots, I have to reload.
We didnt win 2 WW with it. It was one in a larger cast of tools brought to bear on the enemy. In its day the 1911 was state of the art, not any more and there are FAR better platforms. I understand the nostalgia of it but its a poor way of choosing a tool used in life/death situations. Glad you like yours and thats its served you well. The world has moved on tho.
