How does it become a man to behave towards the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.

Looks like an east European copy of the 1911.
Let’s get Tammi and Marvin’s opinion on that. Nice linky article tho, so there is that.
Don’t mess with (us) old folk. We can’t outrun you, can’t out fight you, so we’ll just shoot you.
^THIS^ We may amble at the mosey, or just shuffle along, but at one point that old geezer was more bad azz than yo punk azz will ever be. And he WILL shoot you.
Pic fixed. I really do not multitask well.
NP. Those Polish handguns have some history. One branch of my family is from Poland.
Atlanta: Burglary? Does have a different definition?
Nothing like making a mistake questioning someone else’s work. Chagrin.
Looks like a 1911. How do I clear the Picture on the screen to make it clear since I can’t make out the words on the slide. Awhile ago the method was explained and I never wrote it down and forgot. Anyone out there know how to do this evolution on the key board???
The gun in the photo is a Cimarron Arms 1911 government model Colt copy. It was made in the Philippines. Cimarron is a Fredericksburg, Tx importer of replica firearms. They primarily import Italian made replicas used in Cowboy Action Shooting. They likely sponsored/imported this 1911 clone because several years ago the CAS sport/hobby started a genre using the 1911 instead of two single action pistols.
P.S.: I don’t know how to do it on the ‘puter. I enlarged the photo on my cell phone.
