Originally posted by Rupert Gen Patton liked the one here on the bottom......his gunsmith personally engraved it for my uncle who served as one of Patton's bodyguards during WWII.
The one on top is my Dad's WWII weapon. Both are in excellent condition, but I have never fired either of them. Too large for a concealed carry weapon......for that I prefer a small gun that straps on your ankle.
I sure miss the days over here when we discussed things or genuine importance.....bacon, Velveeta and Spam were worthy topics.

Holy Smokes ! And I was happy before just to own a couple Ruger SR1911's with Colt cut ejection ports ! Very Nice.

I conceal carry my full size 1911 daily and got used to it. Have noticed the last couple years as I have gotten a bit older that my Butt seems to be shrinking and my pants keep inching down.....lol. I remedied that my smacking it right down the front right side of my drawers... "Steel to Skin"... and tighten my belt a notch ! No more "slippage"....lol. Yes....Cocked-N-Locked now has new meaning carrying this way , but sure keeps me from buying any more holsters !
On the subject of Bacon and Velveeta all is good and still worthy of much discussion.....but the newer Spam gives me a severe headache from all the MSG and tastes like salt....PASS.........Mmmmm....Im thinking of FOOD again....lol
