Default A Love Story.

I was first introduced to the 1911 in boot camp. It was love at first sight (shot). In 1988 I managed to buy my first handgun. You guessed it, a Colt Series 70 1911 Government model. One day many years ago I noticed the front sight was sheared off. So it languished in my safe. I finally got it replaced and put original wood grips on it. I had purchased it with Pachmayr grips. I have the original grips somewhere, but can't find them so I ordered another set.
Now it's back to original. Plan on taking it to the range tomorrow. I haven't showed it any love in over 20 years. It's time to rekindle the love affair.
