Hello all. Retired Coast Guard CWO4 and retired Federal LEO. Did you notice I said retired, twice? Forced into retirement at the age of 62 in 2014 after a heart attack. When I asked the doctor when I could return to work he replied: "Never!" Just following doctor's orders!

I have an extensive collection of milsurp and other firearms. I love the 1911 type platform - I have over 50 of them from .22 LR to 10mm including 9mm, .38 Super, .45 acp, and .357 Magnum.

My two most recent acquisitions are a very nice Ejercito Argentino Ballester-Molina and a 1940 Ohio National Guard Winchester 1897 Riot Gun...
