Thanks, Curtis - the last 1911 I completely disassembled was in Army ROTC weapons class in about 1963, so I don't trust my memory with the little bits. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />



Joe, no - but there were a couple of .32 long rounds found that fit the revolver. Just the day before, I found a few .38 +P rounds that I can use in another pistol..... and a couple of weeks ago I found a full box of S&W .40 FMJ flat-nose cartridges.... I gave those to a Lieutenant I know at the county Sherrif's department who's in charge of crime investigation.



Chris, no...... I really don't want to shoot it, don't want it and don't want to throw it away so a crook or crackhead can get it to use. Most law-abiding folks that I know have an appreciation for well-made firearms and would never buy something like that. It's a disposable weapon like so many on the street that can be bought for a few bucks. If all weapons cost more than $200, we probably wouldn't have as much crime.... and most folks won't sell a quality weapon for that. I suppose that's being discriminatory, but it's just the way I see it. It's easier for a crackhead to buy a cheap pistol than it is to steal one, but it's harder for him to buy a nice weapon than a cheap one. It wouldn't eliminate all crime, but I think it would help if the cheapos were kept off the street by a combination of not allowing them to be made, destroying those that are found and requiring manufacturing standards on those that are deemed ok to manufacture.
