I want to thank you all that have joined as well as those prospective
members.

I will try to keep this group as interesting and informative as
possible.

I have added links that will enable you to research your 1911's as
well as keep up with new additions to the handgun market.

I have tried to cover all aspects of the 1911 and the many different
needs that you all have.

From the looks of the membership...we have retired military, law
enforcement officers (LEO's), NRA Instructors, CEO's...one from
Crimson Trace, and every other field dealing with the handgun
community.

If any of you have any questions, want to add photos, take the
polls...anything...feel free!!!

Again...WELCOME.

With the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the M1911 approaching, it
is none too soon to begin a push to see John M. Browning honored for
his accomplishments, both a gun designer and as a patriot, by having
his portrait on a postage stamp.
This is the information I received from the USPS, regarding the
nomination process:

We have a Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee made up of non-postal
personnel who select all new stamps that we issue each year. Please
send your suggestion to the following address:

Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee
Stamp Development
US Postal Service
1735 North Lynn St Rm 5013
Arlington VA 22209-6432
