1911

NICE!

Grizzly 45

VERY.:D On 29th of March 2011 it will be offically 100years old.The date the US army ordinance board approved the 1911 model for issue. That must be now the oldest serving design with any army now?

Next question..Would you actually fire it??As that would devalue it by xx amount of dollars:eek:

PeakOutput

is that particular gun 100 years old or is the design 100 years old?

Not wanting to rain on your parade but you'll never get a permit for it, then again for $6m you could buy a place in Nevada and keep it as a part of your collection.

With 6 million I think 99.9% of any problems you might have re firearms are immediately academic.:)

Are you suggesting that there is corruption within local police forces?

The Japanese General then Major on exchange training in the 1930s?.
Same looks,but no doubt not the same gun.:D It's a special 1911 allright,but not THIS special 1911!

Colt has produced thousands of commeratives with the 1911 as its base gun.General releases and private editions,be no big deal to do some extra fancy bluing and a ivory slab side grip,and pop it in a nice box with somting engraved on the gun for anyone willing to pay for it.:)

Always wonderd how that Japanese general would have kept it fed in 45 ACP ammo during and before the war.During the conflict,it wasnt a bad idea,as you could get it handy off any dead GI officer.but before the war in Japan?? Intresting.

there are loads of guns with gold inlay etc that would look lovely in anyones display.

"Ill take 1 of everything please!! "

No, I'd Just buy all the second world war stuff and a few thousand rounds of whatever calibers I need. :D

I'd just buy a house next to Dermot Aherne and annoy him,morning ,noon and night,with my own private gun range shooting all sorts of exotics that I could lay my hands on,and on the 4of of July every year,Id show him what real "American gun culture" is.By having a massive shooting competition,which every gun owner in Ireland is invited to.[Free food & beer should get yer undivided attention;).] But we would have to start early..Like 4AM!!!:D:D:D:D.That would be just the arrival of the Irish Harley Davidson and gunowner club bike parade,followed by the Irish tank collectors and heavy military transport society.
Not to mind seeing about financing a proper well financed and run pro gun lobby in Ireland.
