Jim, I know you are doing research on the M1911's; are you also interested in researchnig Norinco Rem 870 clones? I just bought one Friday - about $230US and it seems very stout. These shotguns may be standard army issue - not sure on that point. I actually liked the fit and handling better than either Mossberg I handled - plus it's a lot cheaper than the Rem 11-87 I was thinking of. We had too much lightening yesterday to give it a workout.
I had no idea Norinco frames and slides were used in upper end mods - speaks volumes for their metallurgy.
Adios,
