I don't really see quality as having much importance. For example, same grandfather as had the 1911 in the video also had an EIG .22 SAA clone. It's a cheap ****ty gun that my dad said he paid $15 NIB in the 60's when he gave it to my Grandpa. He carried it and shot it often enough that the...

I was recently working with my dad to verify the log of serial numbers is updated and the topic of my Grandpa's stolen WWII 1911A1 came up. It's a bit of an involved story so I just made a video about it that you can view here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNJrNsFOGWI Do you have any...
