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?"

Hogwash.....

You are right again my friend. Thank you sir!

Since "I" never accepted the Beretta as "MY" official sidearm, I still say 80 yrs.

Right , I got 7/10 and then realized there were more choices I couldn't see.

#3 is a technicality. The M9 was officially adopted in 1985, but I know the first pistol I qualified with in 1989 was a 1911.
