My father's .45

[OldShooter32]

Took the old guy out for a short range day. Dad (1905-1983) carried it during WWII as a Colonel in the Alaskan Command.

Other than an "oops" out there at 7:00 I wasn't too bad (15 yards...hey, I'm a rifleman!)

And the long hammer on it gave me a "love nip" -- as usual.

That pistol is beautiful and you should be so proud of it, and your shooting is not bad either.

Your dad gave you a great family heirloom that will last many lifetimes.

thank you for posting this.
