Had not heard that bit of info. Will have to look into that. Would LOVE to have a nice example the ol slab sided .45 auto. I have a WW2 M1 Garand .30/06, Oct '43 date and a WW2 M1 Carbine .30 Cal dated Sept '44. The .45 ACP would be a nice addition. Carried a .45 auto while I was in Viet Nam in '69 / '70. It's heavy but it is a stopper to be reckoned with for sure.
The $800-$1,000 seems a fair price from what I have have seen in the gun show world. Just have never had the $$ to break loose at the time. Found one .45 at a gun show several years ago for $600, nice condition and bluing. Wouldn't you know it, didn't bring the $$ in hand at the time. Didn't expect to find one for that amount so didn't bother bringing some mad money with me.
