The Ed Brown is quite a step up from that, isn't it, although that old 1911 was as reliable as it could have been. Welcome home.
    The barrel bushings are a lot better these days. Welcome home.

    Thanks. I got the birth-certificate from Ed Brown, it says less than 100 made, I wish they gave a more accurate number.

    Nice. First time for me to see the OD Green. That would match very nicely with my Emerson Jungle Commander.

    I'm not impressed with the Gen3 finish. My two month old SF model already has holster wear (from a Milt Sparks VM2 no less) and I carelessly took finish off the muzzle end of the slide replacing the ridiculously tight barrel bushing with a barrel wrench. My matte stainless finish Kobra Carry (several years old) doesn't have this tight bushing and suffers no accuracy problems.
