    I started in the 1911 cult way back in the very early 80s with an old beat to hell rattle trap Remington Rand war surplus gun show purchase for $250. And have been hooked ever since.
    In the late 80s, when Para only sold the wide body frame upgrade kit, I put it on the RR, later on I traded it for a pimped out Gold Cup.
    Over the years I have had at least one 1911 of one manufacturer or another, and have regretted selling or trading every one except the series 80 or other type of firing pin safety types.
    All of the handguns I currently own are series 70 1911s in 45 ACP. With the exception of two, both are Sigs, a P238 and a P938 both of which are not a true 1911.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.
