I recently, after several years, bought another 1911.
This one is a Colt Series 80 Combat Commander in 9mm.
I had thought to buy three, one each in 9mm, .38 Super, and .45, as hand-me-downs.
I've since changed my mind, handling this one had a lot to do with it. I'm suprised, still, that I was once so enamored of the design that I owned about a dozen. {shrug}
I guess it's a sign of growth, and acceptance of a new "pistol" paradigm. I no longer believe that a pistol must be all steel. In fact one of the things I like best about the newer designs is their light weight and ease of maintenance.
So, it's off to the gunshow in the morning, with the Colt tucked under one arm... you gotta have trading material, yes?
