More Proof Of The 1911 Uniqueness An Versatility
I was looking at the owners manual of a Colt 1911 I had bought over 50 years ago, and they are quite different than the owners manual you get now when buying a new gun today. This manual not only explains how to disassemble the 1911, but how to completely disassemble the 1911 without using any tools other than the parts them self that you removed from the gun. I doubt John Browning had this in mind when he designed the 1911, more than likely and armorer discovered it at some point. Anyway I thought I would share this.

I would bet my last dollar JMB had this in the plan from the start

Now if Browning would manufacture a 1911 .45 I would be happy. I don't understand why this is not in their inventory. The .22 and .380 don't count. This is one of the signature Browning designs yet no .45 ACP. Fun fact of the day: Utah adopted the M1911 as the official state firearm - the first state to adopt an official firearm.

I just bought a Colt 1911this last August. I seen it in a gun shop and decided to buy it, but made some changes right away. The main spring housing and the main spring cap are now plastic, as well as the trigger. I replaced the trigger with an extended metal trigger, and replaced the main spring housing with a metal housing. The trigger pull was around 7 pounds, but I have it no to 3.5 pounds now with no creep. It’s made like the old 70 series. Also the recoil spring guide is metal but solid.
The manual that came with it is no where explicit like the old one I posted here.

My friend, LDS, is, of course, a Browning firearms aficionado. He says JMB designed the HiPower to correct the mistakes he made with the 1911.
