Please tell me you're gonna shoot it a little bit. It deserves to be exercised, not chained up.

I know Splitz. I've heard stories about the commotion inside some of your safes and the name calling from the Ruger gals inside. :wink:HAWKEYE#28 said:ROD IS NOT ALONE............ 8)

That's a beauty. Bought my first in 1960 just like that one, $55. Still have it.
Many don't realize how special it is besides the very early full polish finish and keyhole mag:
Short round ended flute at front end of slide
Rounded rear sight
Tapered knife blade front sight
The 1911 is the only semi-auto I appreciate including the first Ace with 4 3/4" barrel, pre Service Ace.
