If you add to the thread... there will be more than one!Pistolas is plural. That's one.
I almost got a Sig. It was a nice gun. I ended up with a S&W M&P instead.
Actually that is a 1911a1. No grip safety on the 1911, mine was built in 1917 blueing is brown from age. Still shoots straight.
Full disclosure, I have been a gi issue 1911 pistol collector for better than 40 years myself.
do you have a complete US&S .45 [Receiver and Slide]
Yes I own a few, you gotta remember that when I started collecting them, it was not a popular firearm to collect. And US&S built around 55 thou pistols. It's not like trying to find a Singer.
I saw someone where recently US&S only made 500 or so receivers / frames and way more slides
[side note I saw a US&S slide in the 80's - yeah I know, no big deal]
maybe it was the Singers ....
I carried a Remington Rand 1911A1 85-87 while at Ft Carson [one of the last Army Bases not to have 9mm]
As much as I love my 1911, my go to, SHTF, you or me, one and only one shot, who you gonna call at 3am, is my Taurus PT92
I don't much like it, it's fatter than I like, the sites suck, it's not a tack driver. It has wood grips and is a nice looking thing. But, I have something like 20,000 rounds through it and I'm a natural point shooter and the damn thing put's 'em close enough every single time. And it goes bang absolutely, positively every single time over all those rounds other than true dudes, a couple of malfs with some steel jacket crap I got from Russia and one time when the barrel linkage broke.
