So true
Isn't that the truth?
That's like asking "how much money do you make"? The answer is "not enough".
Isn't that the truth?

Colt Combat Commander 9mm, regular custom parts and a set of extreme duty tritium adjustable sights.
Sweet........!
There is a gun store down here (I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico...I'm American...you're cool with that, right?) that deals with all kids of firearms, but also sells a lot of older military weapons, usually from World War I, II, and Korea, and those are my favorites. They usually include a history of the weapon in question.
So I have some real classics in my collection.

Rock Island M1911. This is my "70s Blaxploitation Drug Dealer's" gun, but I'm replacing those tacky grips soon..

NO DON'T. Those grips just add the "pimp slappingly cool" factor to the gun lol. But seriously nice 1911s
Singer 1911

That was my thought, too - only about 100 made before the contract got canceled .....

Don't know if this is just 'urban legend', but I heard that some years ago some punk in either Toronto or Montreal got busted for armed robbery of a convenience store (or some similar place that would literally yield only 'small change', as it were) and of course the pistol he had was confiscated and ultimately destroyed. The story is that it was a NAA 1911! If true, the idiot had tens of thousands of dollars worth of steel and wood in his hands and didn't know it!

if i recall correctly, weren't the police in either of these 2 cities taking firearms home that should have been destroyed to add to their personal collections?? if true, perhaps this gun still exists someplace. another chapter in the book of urban legends.
