W.W.II action photos of M1911A1

[PA Rifleman]

Trying to find photos of the 1911 in use, seems like a needle in a haystack. Searching for M1911 or W.W.II photo returns a lot of hits, but nothing clearly showing the 1911 being used in W.W.II.

If anyone knows where there's a good action photo of a 1911 in W.W.II, please post it.

Thanks Mark...prefer originals if possible. I *did* find a great source for originals here for anyone interested:

FWIW I already have these two. As you can see, they're obviously holstered:

Not to speak for the OP - but both, the 1911 and 1911A1, were used in WWII.

Same with a few other pistols too: Colt 38spl revolver, a few 357mag S&W revolvers, some 380acp autos, etc.

yes i know. there were several secondary pistols and revolvers issued.
would like to know if he's looking for a particular model.
when talking 1911's..every detail counts.
