Curious if people here have any special plans for this special day?

Who wouldn't start with a box or two through their favorite 1911's then followed by a toast to JMB?

A "thank you" to John M. Browning.

My Birthday is March 29 and I am buying a 1911 on the 29th. Then I will toast Mr Browning for designing a great gun.

I will be a few days late... But will be celebrating the 100th with the purchase of my first 1911!!!

psst, the pistol was designed well before 1911...it was accepted by the military in 1911.
the famous 6000 round test was in 1910.
anything other than a colt, is just a copy.

Yeah, I am aware it was designed before that, but the official date is March 29th.

And if you really believe "anything other than a colt, is just a copy" you are deluding yourself. Kimber singlehandedly brought the 1911 market back to life in the mid 90's with their quality. Colt's quality was none too great. If it was, Kimber would have never taken off.
