Newbie and his 1943 .45 Introduction

Post by amk » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:44 pm

Hey fellas,

I'm really glad to have found this site. I never knew there so much enthusiasm for legal firearms in India.

I am from Mumbai and have a 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 .45 on my arms license. I changed the original grips for pachmayr rubbers the first day, then I didn't like them so I changed for the shadow skull you can see in the pics, now I've also got the american legend wood and rubber pachmayrs.

I shoot this regularly at the range and I'm pretty good with it.

Here are some pics, enjoy...
