Waited 65yrs to finally round-out my GAGC (Great American Gun Collection) with a RIA 5" FS 1911-A1 8-rounder, all black (even the sights), no rail and rubberized grips. Not my only .45ACP handgun, just my first ever 1911!! (undoubtedly not my last either --that story will develop with time).
Who am I? Just a retired married guy taking all the time in the world to tinker with pistols, rifles, scopes, mag carriers, sights, grips, accessories, holsters, handloads --and shooting them all. A *lot* of shooting! Why not, right?
I'll ask a lot of (probably dumb) questions, so give me your best shot and what works for you. It might work for me, too. Ya never know...

Ask away lots of knowledge here. The only foolish question is the one you don't ask.

Thank you everyone for the hearty welcome!! I have already ordered a 'tweak' or 2 in parts and await their delivery. I'll hop over to another forum to ask more questions of where to go for additional "goodies".

Thanks again!
