Same here but I am having a tough time choosing between a Springfield, Kimber, Colt, S&W, or any other manufactures.I think my next purchase will be some sort of 1911. Likely a Springfield.
Jonathan Browning, John Moses' father, had a gunsmith shop in Nauvoo. However, JMB was born in Ogden and was living and working in Ogden when he developed the M1911. I don't recall JMB manufacturing anything in Nauvoo. Do you have a reference that indicates he did?I'm leaning toward a Colt because I'm want to buy one for the historical significance. It's John Browning's invention and I want to have it engraved with "Holiness to the Lord - Our Preservation." on the side. Browning had that engraved on the guns he made in Nauvoo.
You are correct about John Moses. I was confusing Johnathan and John Moses. Only his father built guns in Nauvoo. I'm still going to get it engraved though.Jonathan Browning, John Moses' father, had a gunsmith shop in Nauvoo.
