I was in Wilburton OK Monday for a Funeral.
I was talking with my dads cousin.
My dad and him hung around and fished and hunted all the time ..My dad went to Vietnam and sometime after he returned he met up with is cousin and they got to shooting guns.
My dad gives him a semi auto 45 pistol said he needed to have it as my dad had another pistol.
My dads cousin told me he thinks it is or was his service weapon.. It is hard to pull the slide back and it has not been shot much and looks pretty new.
He forgot he even had it.. he had not seen it in 30+ years.. buried under some cardboard ammo boxes.
Said he thinks it was made in Florida.
Said it is very heavy too heavy to carry as it will pull your pants down.
He told me I could have it and remind him next time i am down that way and he will give it to me as he wanted me to have my dads gun.
That was nice of him.
But it got my curiosity up.
What do you guys know about weapons from that era 45acp probably made in Florida.
I may or may not be military in my mind.
I haven't got a clue.
