My grandfather's gift to me when I was 16..Got special permission from my Squadron CO to fly with it in SEA.

I have Glocks and a vintage Colt CC but this one will always be close to heart for so many reasons..

Dang, that is a early version of a improved 1911. that beaver tail is homemade. And pre Bomar micro sights I think.


Yes it is very early, a friend's father did the renovation for me before shipping out to Vietnam I requested the custom beaver tail mainly for my Sasquatch hands ..We had an aft weapons locker in our aircraft with M16 & M14's however the leftover crappy Korean War vintage S&W Mod 12's were not something any of us thought we could depend on if we got bagged and had to fight it out on the ground until the SAR cavalry arrived.

You better be afraid of a ghost!!
