Missa Teq,
Iffin You wanna knock "something down" a .45 will do the job. Mine was issued in 1916 ww1 My brother inlaw a gunsmith, now passed on, "reworked" it in the 80's...
I was shooting with Sam Hotton a few years ago It will hit a paper plate at 100 yards....

You got the real deal there missa, that one will outlast your grandkids, I missed a deal on one a couple of months ago, one made in 1944, the guy only wanted $500.00 for it but I didn't have the bucks at that time :( I agree with ya on the .45ACP a 9mm hollow point may or may not expand but a .45 will never shrink!
The biggest mistake I ever made was in Korea in 1968, a KNP had one for sale, he wanted $30.00 for it and I only wanted to pay $25.00 I can still remember reading the name on it like it was yesterday, it was a Singer :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh wow, a Singer made 1911!!! Wow! I'm sorry to hear about this bro. You could probably find one now, but bring BIG $$$$.

Yeah, i've kicked myself in the ass several times over that one swinguard, had no idea at the time what it was as this was 1968, it was in good shape too at least 90 % oh well, to soon old, to late smart :cry:

I haven't backed this up with research but in Ohio I believe it is 21 handgun, 18 long gun.
I believe NC is the same way. 18 long guns and shotguns, 21 pistols,SBRs, NFA items (class 3, DDs)
This is the magic incantation congress uses to constantly violate the 10th Amendment - "...the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of such shall be prohibited"

Missa and Teq,nice 1911's. My fave,love the big-bores.
Nice holster too Missa.

My favorite has always been a 1911 but- Here's one for you guys,I have a Sig P220 in 45 ACP but...here's the funny part,the first four digits in the serial # are 1911 :lol:
Although it is not a 1911 style I thought this was an interesting tid-bit.

My next hand cannon will be a 1911,possibly a Springfield Armory or Colt. Also like the Para's.

That serial # is sending you a message Viking saying buy one now 8)
I like the Springfield Armory 1911's had 4 of them at one time but had to sell 3 :( one was a SS mil-spec I sold to a friend but he said I could buy it back whenever times got better so i'm hoping by this summer I can :D
My Son has a Sig 226 in .40 cal, out of all the ones he has that is his favorite by far :!:
