    New here but not to gun related forums...

    Hello all. Retired Coast Guard CWO4 and retired Federal LEO. Did you notice I said retired, twice? Forced into retirement at the age of 62 in 2014 after a heart attack. When I asked the doctor when I could return to work he replied: "Never!" Just following doctor's orders!

    I have an extensive collection of milsurp and other firearms. I love the 1911 type platform - I have over 50 of them from .22 LR to 10mm including 9mm, .38 Super, .45 acp, and .357 Magnum.

    My two most recent acquisitions are a very nice Ejercito Argentino Ballester-Molina and a 1940 Ohio National Guard Winchester 1897 Riot Gun...

    Welcome sir. Good info and a few old crabs. Don't be afraid to inject an answer or a question. Opinions are free. Again, welcome.

    If you heard my shot, I wasn't aiming at you.

      Welcome Chief! I hope you have a decent camera, as we here do enjoy sharing in others' collections. I've learned a great deal here over the years.
