Course it's a fact, if Google say's it, it must be true.

Actually I didn't get it from the internet. Border Security on Telly, not as reliable as the internet but it's a reality show about US Customs so probably quite reliable .

What you all have to ask yourselves is what is the purpose of this forum?

So, let's be clear here. It's a place for gun enthusiasts to talk about guns, specifically; their personal collections, use, maintenance, future acquisitions, hunting, ammo, reloading and related topics.

It is not a place to talk politics or or make any moral statements that could start an anti vs pro debate. We all know where that goes.

Of course it's possible anyone coming across this forum could decide you all be a bunch of gun nuts and and go off on this but that's why we are here and posts like that would be removed.

Just think before you post and use common sense.

Carry on shooters.

Oh, but for an avowed lover of all things .22 rim fire, a full sized blued steel 1911 gun in .22 has its own yummy flavor of meat.

Tastes great! Less filling!

When I was a kid my father bought me a Bowning .22 lever action rifle. It was a gorgeous gun. I wish I still had it. Now I see these Henry cowboy guns and I’m envious.

Should have stuck this one up before the Ace for it's two years older than the Ace is and I was going in order of oldest to newest.

This is a garden variety Colt Government Model in 9mm Luger, made in 1981 near the end of the Mark IV/Series 70 era. For years I thought that 9mm in a full sized 1911 was a waste of space. Some years before acquiring this pistol, I was able to have the use of one just like it for a fun afternoon plinking session. It was most pleasant to burn up ammunition in the fellow's full sized 9mm Government Model pistol. He offered to sell it to me, but I thought the price was a bit dear. Still, I recollected the afternoon as magical and came to want a 9mm chambered 1911. So, fast forward a few years and I ended being punished for not seeing an opportunity and spent more than his asking price to acquire this one. Sometimes my gun trading and acquisition doesn't look so astute.

It's lots of fun too. I've only ever given it range time or careful plinking use, but it's great for burning up cheap factory 9mm ammunition without having to reload 9mm, something I don't much enjoy doing. I'd never carry it seriously for I don't much admire 9mm for serious social purposes, but I sure do like some handguns found chambered for the cartridge. In recent times even cheap 9mm ammo hasn't been so cheap so this pistol is not seeing as much use.

The 1911-gun in 9mm must have struck a chord in recent times for 9mm 1911s are the hottest thing going these days.
