9/1. How's about making it "Carry a 1911 day" in memory of Churchmouse?

[Mongo59]

I'm in! But if I post a pic, can it be of some skinny guy wearing a 1911? I'm not sure if my phone has a wide-angle lens.

You can use me for background...

Have you tried the panoramic mode?

This is the first I have been on this since Wednesday to find out that CM has passed. I yelled so loud when I read it my wife asked me "what was wrong."

I hurt from loosing him but solely by coincidence I was shooting my 1911 that day.

This remembrance is such a good idea, if nothing else to keep the new members who join in the future of what a great asset we all had.

Took mine over to see AmericanBob on the 1st. Finally got back out to the range with it yesterday.
This target's for you, Churchmouse. She's a beautiful work of art. Thank you.

Good to see you around here again Mongo, wish it was under better circumstances.

Missed you guys. You don't know how much...

 

[Robert Richardson]

That would be every day for me. I'll carry a FS that day.

Trying to buy one, will join 2023!

A little late.. thinking of CM. FROM ONE tin knocker to another.

 

[warren5421]

First time in a few days to be on. Hope his family is doing OK. I carry a STI 6 inch Perfect 10 so was on my side. I never ment him but he helped me with some of his post over the years.

"IN".!!!

The only 1911 I own belonged to my dad and he carried it overseas. Because of it's special sentimental value, I never carry it, but it does see range time.

So in CM's honor, it'll sit next to me at my home desk while I work today... and accompany me on my next range trip.

Still hoping for a Springfield Garrison Stainless prior the to 1st Anniversary... but if not, I'll have this, though still looking for an appropriate leather holster:

I've got two I can use.


This one will likely get the call though.

CM was partial to the Springers.

I'm having trouble finding the words. Bigtanker started a tradition and then we lost him as well.

Found the thread, made the thread a sticky, bumped the thread.

We have a lot of new folks here at INGO, so here is the 411:

Last August we lost (to cancer) long-time Moderator and INGO's most prolific poster, Churchmouse. CM was a good friend to many of us here at INGO. He was a 1911 guy to say the least.

The senior staff member after Churchmouse passed on was Bigtanker. He started this thread and the "carry a 1911 on 9/1" tradition in memory of Churchmouse, who we lost the day before.

On 9 January 2023, we lost Bigtanker in an accident involving two tractor-trailers on a highway in Michigan. I met BT once, he was carrying a 1911.

Friday 1 September will be here before we know it. I'll be carrying my CMP 1911 that day.

Great idea to revitalize this, Sarge !
I'll employ my 1911 that CM worked on.

I have one every day ... and I think of Tim when I do.

Great idea!

Well, his hair was always in his eye's.
