I'm really liking this thread and Thanks to BT for getting the ball rolling. I can think of no better way to pay tribute to churchmouse than an annual 1911 carry day on this day in his honor. I'm pretty darn sure he would be pleased.
Since this is partly my doing , unarmed at work. But once I am off the clock it's going back on and I am going to the range to burn up at least 100 rounds of 45 Automatic
The only 1911 I own belonged to my dad and he carried it overseas. Because of it's special sentimental value, I never carry it, but it does see range time.
So in CM's honor, it'll sit next to me at my home desk while I work today... and accompany me on my next range trip.
