What happened to all the thousands of military 1911's when they switched over to Berettas?
I remember shooting combat pistol matches with my Guard unit in the 80's with .45's. The armory in my artillery unit didn't exactly specialize in accurizing these gals, they were all rack grade, and most were pretty loose.
We would get a dozen or so from the armory, then disassemble them, and select out of parts a few that were resonably tight for our matches. Later that year, I got on the State Hi-Power team. These boys were shooters. Wow, what I'd give for the pistol they issued me. That gal was built like a brick *house. Some armorer knew how to build em.
I wonder what hapened to all the service grade weapons that were replaced with the, ahem, cough, cough, superior 9mm's? It's too bad the DCM couldn't have gotten these.
I heard Clinton had them all ground up.
