9/1. How's about making it "Carry a 1911 day" in memory of Churchmouse?

[bobzilla]

Well, his hair was always in his eye's.

shows you how easy a 1911 is to shoot well. You don't even need a clear line of sight.

Nope, A Marine doesn't need a Clear Line of Sight.

I've been mostly pocket carrying an LCP II this summer. First it was for cycling only, but it just ended up being so damn convenient I stuck with it.

Maybe I'll make September 1 the day I switch mostly back to the 1911 for the year. We'll see. Either way I'll strap it on for that day.

 

[profjeremy]

Dang it, now I have to buy a 1911 this month!

 

[bwframe]

Good for you folks, thinking of CM.

He had a real fit, when I sold off all of my 1911's.

Done and done.
One question.......would it have mattered to Da' Mouse whether it's a 9mm or a .45?

I suppose I could carry both......as long as I'm not going anywhere near deep water!

 

[indyblue]

I’ll wear the TRP in remeberance.

For CM and BT, for the INGO team, and an excellent investment.

Time to make amends.

I think I will break out a Colt just for CM. we had a few discussions on his admiration for the ponies.

Spell check occasionally gets wonky at times.

(For our newer INGOers) It doesn't come up anymore since his passing, but age-griefing Churchmouse was part of INGO lore like "the Boner Drone" and "The State Trooper stole my wallet." He was not the oldest here by far, but it became a tradition.

At a 1500 INGO Booth back in the day, a couple INGO folks stopped by CM was bashing Colts (the handguns, not the NFL team.) I said, "He only hates Colts because Sam Colt was such an ***hole in high school."

Dang pollen count...

 

[profjeremy]

Well, I made my decision, figured I had to decide pretty quickly in order to get it by 9/1. Since I’ve never owned a gun chambered in .45 ACP and I’ve never carried a 1911, those factored into my decision.

10mm would be good.

September 1. 9/1.

All the numbers you need to make 1911, the favorite gun of our dear departed churchmouse.

@Dean Crail said he'd be wearing one tomorrow in remembrance of Tim. Why not just make it an annual holiday?

You can post a pic of you are wearing or better yet, shooting a 1911!!

I had not heard. RIP Churchmouse.

I'll be strapped with my LB Custom Carry......with pants.

I have a Premier II. Just love my Les Baer.

 

[Mij]

Bumping as a reminder, Fri is the day. Get em out n get ‘em shiney if you don’t already have em that way.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Tomorrow is 9/1… carry your 1911 in memory of Churchmouse and Bigtanker.

Pollen count is up again.

 

[ZurokSlayer7X9]

I'll be sure to get the Springfield out tomorrow. I'll also be sure to bring it to the NWI shoot on Saturday (though the DNR won't let me open carry).

 

[DadSmith]

Tomorrow is the day.
Will be using my Springfield Ronin 45.

LOLOLOLOL.. When I rolled by his Shop or the Plantation I always carried a Colt 1911 or a Python, we would be leaning on that Riviera behind the fence and I would hand one to him and ask what his opinion was of the trigger was.
He would be mumbling about it being a F'ing Colt, I wouldn't own one of these POS...
And then he would cock it and pull the trigger and most times do it again. He would hand it back while telling me to F myself every time...

 

[bobzilla]

Can't carry at work, but tonight I'll pull the smith out of my car-bag and pack the Springer. He loved Springers.
