Re: 1911 'Condition One' and other 1911 lore...
I got my first 1911 from an uncle for $80 (his Marine-issue regiment pistol) in 1970. I don't know how many I have owned since then, but I currently have several in a few calibers. I carried them in the State Police Undercover, and in Combat in the Army, ALWAYS Condition ONE.
