M45A1 and it's 100 year old mate
Got one of the commercially sold versions of the current USMC pistol. PCD coated rather than Duracoat variant which came first. First range trip just to see how it did fresh out of the box. For comparison, also brought out a1916 vintage commercial Government Model that somehow escaped being sent to Russia.
The M45A1 sports a dust shroud rail for light/laser attachment, an enhanced grip safety, well executed Novak tritium night sights, ambidextrous safety, a recontoured trigger guard, a slightly beveled mag well opening, reconfigured grasping grooves in the slide, Series 80 drop safety bits, etc.
But do it shoot?
First rounds:
20rds @ 25yds. offhand
Not the best ammo, just basic 230 FMJ.

Your picture of the tape brought back some memories, when we changed over from S&W Model 10's after many years to SLP's lots of the lads soon learnt crossing thumbs was definilety a no no and time for a change of hold, otherwise a groove was always going to be evident. Mind you the pain from doing it once was never repeated for a second learning curve
I love the old 1911 I'm afraid after many years of loving it too bits!
