    I have my father's 1911 from WWII. It has a date code of AA, which would be March of 1932 or March of 1954 - obviously, the 1954 date is out, it would seem. The serial # is 615XXX I can't find any table showing dates/serial number ranges that covers this serial number for a Remington UMC. I...

    I recently was given a Star PD .45 ACP. I did some reading up about it and most of the reviews were great. It was a good 1911 made from 1975 to 1990. Unfortunately mine has not lived up to that expectation. It seems to shoot incredibly low and then about once every 4 or 5 shots it shoots right...
