Because of restrictions where I live, I had to get an m1 platform and decided to go with the M1A. Figured I’d shop the look and get a 1911A1, but happened upon the Rock Island Armory GI 1911 for less than 300 bucks.
Will I get a 9 mm pistol? Probably. But I learned to stop worrying and love my inner Fudd. You should too.
I'm pretty sure that for most of them, the most use their guns see is being put in the truck on the way to get a couple cheeseburgers.
