My daily driver since getting it 8-10yrs ago, I've owned quite a few in 50yrs of buying and would have been quite happy had this one been around the other 40...

it is bone stock past a short trigger, late issue Vietnam era fibre grips and "GI" mags, a very to-spec gun of utter reliability using OEM supplier Checkmate GI-contour mags of perfect controlled round feed with hardball....

where I have failed miserably in every mag dump attempt to induce a jam no matter clean/dirty/orientation/loosest possible hold without shooting self, just never even the slightest hesitation in all this time and all the determined
tries of at least twice every year and each time me now nearly disappointed to have to say the gun won, again...

with to-spec clearances, no match gun but easily holds all shots in 6" at 50yds with ball (Winchester white box), the attached target two magazines at 25yds prior to final zero (target was actually clocked right, so it was close to the hold at 6)....it just works...and works...and works.

Well, give us the story and we'll help you decide :)

Had an uncle who tended to be a little on the windy side. He was Navy during WWII, and said they came across a life raft on a patrol. Turned out to be a B-17 crew who had ditched in the middle of no where. Unfortunately, they found them too late and one of the crew members was wearing this 1911.
