No 1911s?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

They STILL remain ABOVE the "riff-raff".... ;) Although some Kimbers or Remington 1911's would be a sweet addition....
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I think it might be a survival call on the part of ATF. You rustbucket guys get kinda creepy about your guns. I think they are afraid someone would feel obliged to "rescue" one from an evil ATF agent. ;D

Apparently the Sig P250 did not make it through the T&E; because of reliability issues. Link to GAO report: http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/4023393.htm

With all of the rusting issues the current S&W M&P has, you would think the Glock would be a no brainer.   Bill T.
