Section 8: Handguns Subject: .50 Caliber Msg# 1034132

One riot, one ranger, right?
I hate "artsy" pictures like that! Is the gun blued with bad lighting? Is it green, as it looks? Do the slide and frame colors match? What color are the grips? They appear to match the magazine's base plate which is probably black. The "lighting" is all glare, possibly with an ugly greenish tint, unless that's a failure of the picture's printing process. Yech. The two barrels in the bottom right corner of the picture make me think this is a three-caliber 1911. I wonder which calibers... In keeping with the big gun theme, maybe .45ACP, .45 Super and some kind of .50? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Remember the comment made by a Texas Ranger many years ago? When asked why he carried a 45 he responded "Because they don't make a 46"! Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: photos Image Info: a true big bore 1911 pistol in .50 caliber...  |
Probably not...
