Thank you, John Browning, for the 1911.

If anyone has the link, let us know. I would enjoy watching it.

+-Somewhere I have a slide of the original tool room model of the 1911 I took in the Browning Museum in Utah.

If you ever get the chance, stop by the Browning Museum in Ogdon, Utah. It's only about a hundred miles south of here, so we've visited it 3 or 4 times.
The Browning Museum is right beside the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, as well as a really old car museum of some kind. However, as a gun geek, I spend most of my time in the Browning Museum when we're in Ogdon.
At any rate, it's well worth the stop - even though I never can figure out where 3 or 4 hours went every time we stop there.

Its a bit farther for me to travel, but these museums sound interesting. My wife is not into RV camping but my greyhound is. Maybe I can plan a trip out west and swing by the museums before she can't travel well.

The 1911 is just a thing of beauty..

Yes, the 1911 is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

I don't have a enough finger and toes to keep track of the 1911's I have.

I have 1911's chambered in 22LR, 38 Special, 38 Super, 38/45 Clerke, 9x19, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. Some I have built, some I have purchased.

A 1911 junkie to the end.

For me, the grip-to-barrel angle is absolutely perfect in the 1911

He was ahead of his time, and changed semi and autos as the world knows! His actions are always being copied.
