Old 1911A1

"grandfathered" in? HYPOTHETICALLY, if My step moms husband died and she kept some pistols he had. One of which was a 1911 stamped "u.s. army"... would it be legal for us to own/shoot it? No papers on record...

Handguns were not DROSed until the early 90s -

It's your mothers pistol now. You can shot it and/or she can give it to you.

Even with it having a military SN? Is stamped "u.s. army"... got me worried a lil there haha

No worries there. Lots were sold through the NRA and even if some sticky fingered GI brought it home in 1945. No one will ever know.

Shoot it and enjoy it.

That just means it's worth more -

Now lets see some pics of the old horse -

Absolutely, mines marked U.S. Government



And is it a 1911 or a 1911A1? You should look up the serial and see what it was made, might be interesting to know.

If it has the finger reliefs behind the trigger guard it's a 1911A1.
1911 did not have these.
