    It belonged to Pat Rogers, and is US Army marked. I have been wanting one of these for years.

    I have no impulse control. A kind friend tipped me off to this, and I had to buy it. I wanted it to stay "in the family" so to speak, and not get chopped up or altered. It will stay exactly as he owned it.

    I'm going to loan it to Darryl and Wayne, and ask them to shoot it at Tac-Con. It will glorious to watch.

    That is a quality purchase you made! I will be honored to shoot it (and I have some full moon clips, too).

    Deal. I want to pick your and Darryl's brains about the right leather to track down for it.

    I'd love to find a period US Army holster, and then a rig that an LEO would have worn. If you gents have info regarding Uncle Pat's tastes in that regard, I would like to follow them.

    Thank you for this. It’s a lot like The Nature Conservancy buying up land so it doesn’t get developed.

    Beautiful.

    I think the old flap holster was standard issue.

    A nice boarder engraved threepersons would be nice too.

    That's awesome. Thanks for making sure this is preserved.

    That is the nicest condition example I have yet seen. Congratulations!

    He had quite a collection. I had the opportunity to look at what was probably only 1/4 of it at AST prior to it going on the walls and in the cases for the public. I plucked this gem from the pile:

    Great find.

    It looks like they have been trickling out guns from Pat since the fall.

    I saw the Argentine "1911" at class, Mid Mo 2008. It felt slightly melted in the hand and was far smoother than you would think.
    I have two kids in college and I would have bought that gun for 500 plus shipping/transfers etc.
