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.

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.

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