Default Colt

Forgive me for,taking liberties with this forum. While it doesn't warrant a wall of honor posting, I thought it worthy .

As some may know, 2 June 2016 was the 40th anniversary of my graduation from The United States Military Academy at West Point, Army for short.

We were offered the opportunity to purchase a commerative 1911. There 4 options but I chose a series 70 Government model as thst was my sidearm. It was engraved by Baron. We've waited several months but they are in. Here are a couple picks.





And yes I'm going to shoot it.

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.
