As you all know, it's the year 2011. 100 years ago today, the US Army formally adopted the 1911 45 caliber automatic pistol. I thought it would be a good day to post pictures of this historic weapon.

This one's mine.

JMB truly hit it out of the park and then some with the 1911. Here's my favorite:

The 1911 is by far my favorite handgun platform...I have my Wilson CQB Compact .45 on my hip today as I do most days. JMB was really on to something with the 1911.

I thought this pic might be good for this thread. Me and my wife were fortunate enough to take a trip to Hawaii without the kids. Here's an exhibit at the Pearl Harbor museum, showing a 1911 pistol found after the attack.
