Happy 1911 Day

[sirhrmechanic]

In case anyone thinks today is about chocolates and candy and little arrows and all that fun stuff...

Today is the day that John Moses Browning filed his patent on the 1911.

So if you want something to celebrate that doesn't involve a saint who was bludgeoned, beheaded, buried and then disinterred by his followers but now engenders chocolate exchanges.... Then celebrate 1911 day!

Never been much of a handgun guy, but I must admit, I've often thought I should pick up a 1911 because it drips old-school utility. It's like a great tool my father would have owned and I should just have one just to have it.

I agree everyone should own 1 or 2 or 3 or ....

Also for the naval giys the battleship Bismark was launched today.

Finally, a good reason for the day! And it's My Lady's first handgun, too.

I loved my 1911's, then there was that boating accident.

I didn't know that. I would have gotten the wife a 1911 for valentines day.

Gun shop wouldn’t trade.
