I could be having a brain fart, but, not even including the "COLT"
stamped into the slide and the Colt medallion on the grip panels, it
looks EXACTLY like a 1911 type Colt. What am I missing?

You're missing Fig. 2, apparently:

http://www.ajronline.org/cgi/content/full/178/5/1092/FIG2

Huh? That photo looks EXACTLY like a 1911 type Colt.

What's on the barrel?

Are you messin' with me?

Never.

But, yeah, it does look like the 1911 I carried around as an ASROC
rover back in the day.

Huh? Doesn't that sentence contradict your first sentence?

Not at all, David. Two facts. One is that the Fig shows a gun with
'COLT M1991A1' engraved on the barrel and two is that it also happens
to look like the service pistol I carried around while I was in the
Navy which was an M1911A1.

I apologize.

I accept your apology.

You were not messin' with me.

Correct. :o)

You just don't know anything about firearms.

Correct again. Basically. What I know encompasses:

a) Don't point a gun at anyone, even if you think it's unloaded.
b) Don't draw a gun (well, otoh...

) unless you intend to actually shoot someone.
c) The barrel points "that way."

Pretty much it.

Regardless, I earned marksman with the .45 and qualified with an M-14.
Also qualified with a 12 gauge (which amounts to shooting a hay bale)
and was a .50 cal machine gun operator. I could strip one down, put it
back together, set the timing, and fire off rounds. Could I do it
today, after not having seen a machine gun in nearly 20 years? No.

Ignorance can be forgiven.

Cool.

The "COLT M1991A1" IS a 1911 type Colt. Please note the "1911 type", a
general descriptive term.

Ahhh. Gotcha.

You ARE messin' with me! KING!!!

Not his fault.

Good KING!
