Ever do any time in Baumholder?
Welcome from a recent SFC retiree. Enjoyed my time in Germany and Korea. Traveled all over Iraq in 2003-2004 and saw some interesting stuff. While I do enjoy a 1911 I'm not a snob. I like most anything that shoots, though I am a bit partial to my flintlocks.
YMOS,
Tony

Welcome, I never heard of 1911 snobs, is there any other perfect handgun other that a 1911....
Never did any time in Baumholder. Two years in Kirch-Goins, 2/33 Armor, 4 years in Schwabach, 1-1 Cav. (Border), and 3 years in Wildflecken, 1-68 Armor.
Welcome, glad you are here. Be advised, no cookie for you in that as a 1911 snob you might like a macaroon haute couture made by Pierre Herme?
