1911 in the field and on the front (PIC HEAVY)

[CCR]

I'm bored on top of coming down off my alcohol induced buzz, so I wanted to put one of these threads together. I seem to be missing a few pictures, IDK why... but oh well. There were plenty of pics of fully covered holstered 1911's, but I wanted to get some where you could actually see the gun or part of it. Taken from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and I want to say one or two were from the African Bush Wars. Hope you enjoy!

Fantastic!!!
A true classic. I can't help but feel a connection to Audie Murphy and the like when I pick up a Colt!
American design and American manufacturing at its finest.
