Talking Re: Information on M1911 clip

Never realized there was a difference. Then again I live WAY back in the sticks. Hell, we're just happy when the new Sears & Roebuck catalog arrives and makes its way to the outhouse! LOL

Thanks for the education, again, I did NOT know what the difference was!
