A little about me

[Surveyor3975]

I received my first 1911 from my dad approximately 45 years ago. It was his service sidearm. A Remington Rand M1911A1. I have had an affection for the 1911 platform ever since. I currently own two Kimber micro 9s, the Remington Rand (1943), a RIA 1911 in 9mm/22TCM, and soon, a Tisas Tanker in .45acp. Additionally, I own a Smith & Wesson Model 39-2. This particular pistol is a transitional Model 39/39-2. I am retired and living in South Florida.

Welcome aboard from NW Ohio and you've hit yourself a couple really cool firearms!
I too have an Armscor /Rock Island 22tcm/9mm, mine is a double stack and complete blast to shoot! How do you like yours? Any issues?

Mine is the single stack. I should have it at the range this weekend For the first time.

From what I can determine from the SN, I believe mine is circa 1943.

Awesome, you'll really like it! I have about 1000 rounds through mine.

I agree. I've had my 1968 for 20 years and am not likely to ever part with it.
