The 2009 Springfield Armory / USPSA Single Stack Nationals
A New Appreciation For Retro Equipment and Basic Courses of Fire

Hard to believe that we are nearly a decade into the 21st century. Our lives have been made easier and more enjoyable (though some may argue) by major technological advancements, i.e., Blackberries, search engines, social networking sites, Blogging and TIVO, just to name a few.

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.
