bought a para ordinance 1911 gi expert stainless,i also got a clean M1 garand . i can't wait to shoot both of these. both of my grandpa's carried a M1 Garand in WW2,kinda why i've always wanted one,plus i think they are sweet. for the 1911 i have always been a fan of them,and this was in a good price range,so i will see how it does
