I plan to attatch this to my VietNam era eeb gear and actually use it. I am not a reenactor or historian so exact is not quite as important. Just something i use when i get my "M16" A1 out. I have correct Bianchi equiped web gear for my "M16" A2 rig. Just never had a 1911 and wanted the right stuff for it.
The next 1911 will be ultra modern tactical super bling ambi with appropriate gear to support it. I just really wanted to start my journey with this design at the beginning before getting spoiled with modern stuff. Kinda like starting out with the M16A1 before getting a Sig 516.
I know.... Mikie is weird.
I made my son shoot iron sighted from 5-10 years of age before i ever let him look thru a scope and 14 before firing a pistol.
Today he is a better shooter and has a full understanding and appreciation because of it. We miss so much valuable and rich experience by jumping right in with the state of the art stuff. This 1911 is a new journey for me. Hell, prolly an M1 and M1Aicon to follow, who knows!
