Sorry to hear of your medical leave. I just recently went on SS disability for a lower back injury. So I know were you are coming from. Yeah I've decided to hang on to it, I have all type of uses for it around the house. Checking wall outlet and water heater elements and thermocouples come to mind off the top of my head. Yes I was referring to the Model 1911, I own 3, 1-5" and 2-4" 1 Champion and a Kimber hicap. Plus a few other toys. On the "1911 Forum I go by guysmith, on most other Forums I'm known as gunnersmith.
