    Many many thanks to all involved. I notice that no one has commented on the fact that they all had arched mainspring housings, and only one had standard sights. The reason they're all Colts is probably that he bought them or got them new the year they were made. I would love a chance to speak with the Col. and see all his guns. I just wish that he still worte real columns in the mags rather than just the Thoughts from the Gunners Guru which is always the last thing I read before retiring the mag.

    Just one thing to keep in mind folks. These pistols are a very small part of the Colonel's collection, so others may be more representing of his preferences. When I asked for these, I also asked for a small comment from Col. Cooper. Unfortunatelly, it seems that he is more busy than his age allows him to be, so we are lucky to have just the pictures.

    Not really Garrett, if you remember the good Col's axiom,
    "... We have long maintained that the only accessories that a 1911 needs are a trigger you can manage, sights that you can see, and a dehorning job. That still goes."
    Then again, maybe you're right Garrett, we did learn something, he means what he says.
    That's sort of what I was getting at. The Colonel has proved that you don't need surfboard safeties, and magwells the size of the grand canyon to run a 1911.
    "The 1911 was the design, given by God to us through John M. Browning, that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911 and it's true now." - Col. Robert Coates commanding, U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command Detachment 1 (DET 1)

    That was the exact reason I wanted Col. Cooper to comment on them, to explain to us the rational behind each pistol and why he had it build the way it is. Too bad the good man couldn't give us some details.

    I'd just about bet the top Commander was built for the good Colonel by Robbie Barrkman.
