After an almost 2 1/2 year wait my number came up at the Civilian Marksmanship Program to purchase a US military 1911A1. (Frankly, when I got the number I never thought anything would come of it.) About 2 weeks ago I received a call from CMP asking if I was still interested. Well, we all know what the obvious answer was. So here it is. A 1943 Colt frame with a Remington Rand slide.

I intended to, but my son is pretty adamant that I not, and shoot his instead.

Cool piece of history. I would shoot it because it's not like its never been shot before

Curt,
As soon as I figure out where I stored my .45 ammo and have some time to go to the range. Joel

Congratulations. As others have said, take it out and use it for what it was made for.
