I just don't see the value in these old relics. I carried one, shot it some. I wasn't much of a shooter back then and this rattle trap didn't help. The Navy was the last to convert to the new Barettas. By that time we had placed, BUORD approved, red danger tags on most of the 1911's in the armory. Can't believe they have had any work since the exchange. I'll take a nice new Springfield or late model(this century) Colt thank you.
