“Uh, should this be semi auto?
Navy and U.S. Marines who carried an earlier version of the Colt as their official sidearm the Model 1911 .45-caliber automatic. “
If yall already know this stuff (BFO), please save your time and skip to the next post/poster....
Actually, automatic in this case refers to loading (automatic loading or auto-loader). The cartridge designation “ACP” Automatic Colt Pistol, supports this. Anything that worked otherwise (fully automatic) was referred to as fully-automatic, or machine-gun (main battle rifle cartridge), or sub-machine-gun (pistol cartridge).
Either way, it is an historic time, the Marine Corps and John Moses Browning (hallowed be his name to practitioners...)together again!!!
Oooohrah!!
Oooohrah!!<<
It's good to be proud of Connecticut again and the great Sam Colt. Heaven knows we need the business in this dreadful economy..
“John Moses Browning (hallowed be his name to practitioners...)”
