Like the pistol... and I'm an Alaskan girl, so I know about pistols. The "barcode" on the slide looks a little funny... almost like a serial number had been filed off. It were me, first thing I'd want would be a better sight, rounder trigger guard, and a more ergonomic grip. All in all, though, not bad.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..."

Ah man, the Colt 1911, that's a true American gun. In fact, the series of Colt 1911 blowbacks that the U.S. used in WWI, my family has one. My great grandfather was an officer in the Army, and he was trained to use the Springfield .30-06, as well as the Colt .45 ACP. The one my family owns, my great-granddad bought off a friend for 15$. Now it's worth thousands of dollars, and the three clips are worth hundreds. But there is no way it's gonna be sold! I'm gonna do whatever I can to make sure it's never hocked. My great-uncle used it in WWII, he was a combat-soldier, and of all of my great-grandfather's grandchildren, he gave it to my dad. My dad promised he'd give it to me one day. Hopefully I'll give it to my son and/or grandchild. It's a beautiful family-heirloom as well as a reliable weapon. Truly a symbol of my family members who served in the military.
