Although I've followed this forum for quite some time, I'venever really taken the time to become as active in it as I should be. I'm originally from the San Joaquin Valley in California; so not the liberal part of the State. We moved to Arizona about two years ago to become reacquainted with freedom after retiring from law enforcement 5 years prior. 1911's have always been a very big passion of mine, and I've even built a few. Misplaced most of my 'smithing tools, so the 1911 purchases in the last few years have been mostly Springfields (but I like Colt's, too). Hope I can contribute something worthwhile from time to time.
Thanks for the welcome, Blackbeard.
