The Scene: Just before dawn day 2 of the 2008 Rio Salado Desert Classic Area 2 Championship, Stage 2 “And This Is For You”. Squad 21 receives their briefing and begins to prepare. The first shooter of the day loads in the predawn light, knife in hand awaits the signal to begin. Are you ready, Standby, the morning explodes awake with the new day of competition.

This is my Single Stack, there are many like it but this one is mine. I know it’s somewhat ugly, it’s worn and has scratches and dings. But that’s the way I like my 1911. The wear and tear proves that this is a shooter. It’s not a safe-queen. I’ve shot thousands of rounds, done hundreds of draws and reloads with this gun. It’s been snatched off tables and grabbed out of boxes. Jammed into ports, stuck around barricades, and under walls.
