    Wink Update: Photos

    Here it is with the carbine and my web gear:



    Here is a close up showing the arched A1 back strap, wide spur hammer, and GI bakelite grips: Looks like the Ithaca I carried as an MP in the early 1970s...



    I did about 50 rounds, and it easily held 2" off-hand at 10 yards. It also bounced pop cans with monotonous regularity, point shooting over the top of the slide. I forgot haw good a 1911A1 feels in the hand!

    BTW, I use Google translations when I get stuck or can't remember a vocabulary word.

    For Gunner: Dieses hier jetz ist meinen Karbiner und 1911A1 selbst-laden Pistole!
