1911 Adoption THE Docuemnt!

[Smokeeaterpilot]

Hey guys, been doing some data mining for my research website and came across this document.

You should all know it well. The date is when Colt's Automatic pistol was adopted as the standard service side arm for the US military. Currently found hundreds of pages on the program as well as the Savage Pistol tests.

Thought this one was too good not to share. You've all read "about" the adoption.

Well here is the document from the Office of Chief of Ordnance announcing it to Colt.

And yes that is the same Thompson that invented the SMG.

Enjoy!
