^^^^^ Sweet!!

BTW, was over at the LGS yesterday and was talking to a former Marine.

I was over there to see about putting a FO front sight on the Smith 1911 Pro.

He showed me his carry pistol and I noticed the grips had the Globe and Anchor on them. He said that his wife had given those to him. They were made from the camis of Vietnam marine veterans. He said they were only made for 1911's and were only made for marine veterans. He told me the grips were over a grand!! They were nice to be sure and have a lot of history, but they paid more for the grips than they did for the gun.
