Marines buying 1911s again
See here:
http://www.mcall.com/business/hc-col...,1358991.story
Interesting point of note from the Morning Call article:
In recent years, the Marine Corps has been building its own .45-caliber pistols at a facility in Quantico, Va., using parts from existing inventory of Model 1911 pistols and other commercial parts, said Barbara Hamby, spokeswoman for Marine Corps System Command, which orders guns for the Marines. The government, however, hadn't bought new handguns from Colt for decades. That changed this month with the first order of up to 12,000 Colt pistols, starting with 4,036 right away.

Cool to see that we're buying American arms again; it seems many of the more recent contracts have been to Beretta or FNH."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Somebody should report this thread to a mod to merge it with the other thread. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
I am interested in this as well, though.The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but believe me, it's on the damned list.
