Overall, though, I favor the 1911s or the SAAs. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Many years ago when I was around 17 or 18 years old I sent off for a replica .36 Navy. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. It was my first handgun. I remember I bought it from EMF Company. The 1851is one sexy piece of work. Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.

One built from a kit was my first handgun. It still shoots pretty okay, although the sights are a bit harder to see than they were back during Reagan's second term.
