Default First Colt I ever bought!
The top Combat Commander .45 acp is the first Colt (or 1911 style) that I ever bought; back in 1981-82; paid $325 for it that included 2 magazines and those stag grips I've posted a picture of. I still have it; the other pictures are after I sent it to David Sams of Sam's Custom Gun Works in VA for an overhaul. I had David do his 21 Step Reliability Checklist, install a Novak Low Profile rear sight and a gold dot front sight - then refinish the gun in a matte blue.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
