I dispute question #3.

OBTW, I apparently don't know much about the 1911.

Hmmm..... ... trust me... your prowess with, and exhaustive knowledge of, the 1911 platform is well known to everyone. These gifts have only been surpassed by your highly regarded reloading skills, which will be told as legendary stories around our campfires for generations to come.

Just to be clear, I thought the padre's answer was punny as hell and pretty close to the truth. I applaud his ingenuity and prowess. Touche` my friend. I shall come up with a retort at a later time. My "A few good men" response took most of my creative juices for the moment.

I failed miserably but, my excuse is that I could only see half of the questions and answers.

Yes, it might have been officially replaced in 1985, but was still in service in the 90's. I was issued one while in Germany in 1991.

My Pino Pal, old buddy, you should read the questions more carefully

Question 3: "How many years did the 1911 serve as the main sidearm for the U.S. military?"
