1911 Show-N-Tell

[Lammchop93]

Here is mine. I'm a new member. I turned 18 back in July, and the day of my birthday I applied for my LTCH, and I received it about 3 weeks later.

This is a 1914 Colt M1911. It was my Grandpa's during WWII, and it was passed down to me this past summer. From what I understand, it was used in WWI, and was reissued back to the government, and then issued to my Grandpa for WWII.

I am addicted to 1911's. To me, no other handgun feels right in my hands

That might be the best "first gun" ever. I am very jealous. Enjoy.

Specs? Sure looks like a real GI.

Nice pistol.

It looks to be a nice Arsenal Rework. Several parts have been change from original, are there any stampings on it such as RIA (Rock Island Arsenal), AA (Augusta Arsenal), SA (Springfield Arsenal)?

 

[Lammchop93]

It is a real GI. The serial number is 19615. I haven't gotten the whole dating thing down yet, but it's between a 1913-1919. It was my grandpa's during WWII.

It has been reworked as well. It has RIA, and EEC stamped on it. From what I understand, the frame is a Remington, and the slide is a Colt.
