    Thumbs up WW2 US Army M1911A1 my dad carried

    I'm Kohavis from Colorado. I just arrived here and hope to learn here as well as offer help to others looking for answers.

    I own an original WW2 US Army M1911A1 my dad carried as his sidearm as an officer in the European Theater. He also taught me how to shoot beginning at age 5 on the very same gun

    (Dad was in the Army from 1941 - 1946 and participated in the landing at Normandy Beach on D-Day. He won the purple heart, bronze star, and numerous marksmanship medals. He was the best natural shot I've ever seen. The 1911 he carried has only the most minor holster wear.)


    Cheers!
