Great buy! The 1911, despite being more than 100 years old, is still a relevant pistol. Its design is the basis of just about every auto loading pistol. The “modern” Sigs & HK’s all use the sliding/tilting mechanist to reload a round. Only the lock-up has changed, and that only slightly for more efficiency. I think you will enjoy your new weapon. Oops! Looks like you got me too.
