Works well for me and I agree with that the brass is great for reloading.

And more voters chose the current President. Does that make him the right choice?

Certainly it could be an arsenal rebuild. You can see examples of crooked markings on rebuilds. I'm not sure you can really call it an A1, though, as the frame is a 1911, and the slide is an A1. If it is a 1917 frame marked 1911A1 on the right side, that was done by RIA.

38 Super is my personal choice over 9mm, but if recoil is a concern, it will have a sharper felt recoil than a 9mm (not to mention a huge muzzle flash), especially in a LTW frame. My daughter is 5'8" and prefers a 9mm XD over my LTW Commander. She shoots the Colt well, but the 9mm has a softer...

But the M1905 was effectively a production prototype that led to significant changes before the final version was released. Only a few thousand weapons were made. The Colt "1910" was an even rarer prototype and was mostly a 1911. JMB did build a completely different design as the FN 1910 at...

Nothing obscure about 38 Super just because you can't buy it at Wallyworld. 9x23 maybe. If the issue on the table is what is a better round than 9mm, and one of the concerns is mag capacity, then why not 38 Super? More energy with a slightly smaller diameter and only about 2mm longer. And, yes...

That assumes NATO interchangeability is really useful. It may have been true that standardization was a goal, but was that ever really "realistic?" That these are "weapons with limited usefulness" would only be true if interchangeability is desired and/or current availability of ammo is...

Commander size 1911 is a little longer than your spec and the EAA you asked about, but otherwise fits. Colt LTW Commander has alloy frame and is 7.75". Little lighter than the EAA. Defender, New Agent or similar 3" 1911s are smaller, but give up accuracy, velocity and maybe reliability (1911s...

Don't ignore 38 Super or 9x23. Both have better ballistics than either 38 Special or 9mm Luger (except some +P 9MM), and would give up no magazine capacity (based on diameter) versus the current 9mm. I'm sure the DoD could develop even better rounds than currently available, and, as a 38 Super...
