The Colt .45 M1911 is making a big comeback, now that the U.S. Marines have placed a $22.5 million order for the Connecticut-made pistols.


<!-- /hmedia -->It’s been called the greatest handgun ever made, and it has barely changed sine 1911, when the legendary John Browning designed it especially for the U.S. Military.

It is the greatest handgun ever made! I have one and I also have a M1911 45 Auto made by KIMBER!
If I were forced to have only one pistol it would be that model and caliber no doubt on that.
Jarheads deserve the best and they rightly bought the best.- :beer:-Tyr

My brother in law used to have a Colt 45 with a silencer. He gave it away after he retired from gang life. He prefers his Glock anyway.

With the Marines taking on this .45 again. And since the Marines are part of the Navy. Does anyone know if the Navy is also replacing their old .45's, and 9's with this new one?

Every quarterdeck in the Navy used to have One.

By the way gabby. Silencers are ILLEGAL. Not that you seem to care.

If you had read my post, you would know why he had one. Not that you seem to comprehend. :rolleyes:

So, you are proud to announce that your brother in law has Gang tats, and got rid of his illegal silencer?
Must be a real blast at your family reunions. If you survive.

I hope you sternly lectured him about his naughty ways and told him about your degrees.

I'm sure Tyrone came away from that tongue lashing a better man.
