    Default Al Capone 1911 - New in the box from Turnbull

    Saw this and thought it might be of interest to some folks here (pricey, but pretty cool,...well at least IMO):

    I just read the GA email tonight myself. That looks like a really nice offering in the 1918 model. I would love to have one, but I would love more to have eyesight that was correctable enough to see the original style tiny blade front sight. The $1900 per copy is a bit much, but it's probably worth it.

    Nice looking, but you'd have to watch out for hammer bite.............

    I'd smile ear to ear every time that beautiful thing bit me.

    Sweet, nobody does it better than Turnbull for "period" guns.

    I had one just like it made in 1913. I gave it to my #1 son. No bawanna, I'm not going to adopt you.

    But Daddy! Why don't you luv me no mo?

    I knew you never liked me, never did, never will.

    I got to fondle a 1913 last Thanksgiving. Got to give it a good detail cleaning, first cause it was dirty and again after I drooled all over it.
    Sure like to call it my own, just leaked history all over everything.

    I got to handle a "period" 1911 last weekend, along with a military .38 revolver, Thompson, and a Garand. At Ft. Clinch on Amelia Island they had a veterans day shebang with weapons from the Revolution to today. Gatling gun too.

    The 1911 was a typical armorer's Frankengun, parts and pieces. They took out the firing pins from all of them so you could rack the slide and pull the trigger.

    I think that bite is what made Capone so good at being mean.
