1911
Legislators in Utah are celebrating John M. Browning Day (the 100th anniversary of the Model 1911 handgun) in a very special way. They are asking the state to adopt the 1911 handgun, which was invented by the late Ogden resident, as the state's official gun. State's across the Union choose items of special local importance as symbols of their State's heritage.
Like many of you do I enjoy watching Nutnfancy videos on YouTube. Today he just posted "1911 Handgun Philosophy of Use". Its well worth a watch and while you may not agree with all of his thoughts, I appreciate that he spells the pros and cons out in detail.
A few of his key comments:
Not sure that I really need this gun but I would love to give it a try. Never know when you might get attacked by an angry mob of water moccasin snakes. The dimensions almost look cartoon-like with the big slab sides and comparitively small trigger guard. It would make an expensive snake gun at $2000. The accessory list says it comes with a duck call which seems a little odd... maybe I should give this gun a spin on the clay course.
