"In celebration of 100 years of the Model 1911, the National Firearms Museum will have a special display at the National Rifle & Pistol Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio from July 14-17."
Very topical with the event at Camp Perry having started yesterday,
If anyone goes, bring back pictures!

Re: Colt M1911
I had my hands on a couple of war issue 1911's a while ago, they had only had proof rounds through them and were ready to go. At the time they were sitting in a pile of over a dozen identical 1911's

Re: Colt M1911
My first firearm was a Colt Government Model Series 70; beautiful gun.
"A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn".
Re: Colt M1911
Probably the nicest 1911 I ever shot was the BiL's it was a late '40's one in original or at least period blue and nickel finish with period after market sights. The Action was very slick and yet safe at the same time. It had obviously been cherished by a previous owner and was treated similarly by the BiL.

Happy birthday!
You can see many of the exhibits at the National Firearms Museum both in still photos and video presentations, on their website. Here are some of the 1911s they have:

Re: Colt M1911
:'( I'm so annoyed I missed out on owning/shooting any of these beauties...
having never shot one, its a silly thing to say, but the 1911 is my favorite sidearm ever and I wish I could have owned one in the UK :(
*cries in corner*

They are truly iconic and still available to us as a S7.3 if anyone fancies one.

Re: Colt M1911
Loosely from Wikipedia:
Section 7.3 Guns of historic interest, are ones that were typically manufactured before the year 1919. Since so-called "Section 7.3" historic weapons use currently available ammunition, they must be kept at a secure designated site such as the Bisley camp, in Surrey.
