Tonight I will raise a glass in honor of JMB and the finest pistol design we know.

I will celebrate with purchasing a Sistema Colt modelo of 1927. Happy Birthday 1911. One hundred years of the perfect blend of funtionality, class, and ergonomics.

Thanks again JMB. Time proven winner. The 1911 has earned it's legend and longevity.

Happy Birthday! Ever since I laid my hands on my Grandpa's 1913 M1911, I have been hooked. Bought my own 1911 back in January. Best guns ever!
