[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 813742, member: 5655"] Disclaimer: I am not a 1911 expert. I really haven't even shot one that much. But yes, Ithaca was one of the contractors building 1911s during WWII. Additional disclaimer: I tend to be a nostalgic person so there ain't no way I would trade or sell that 45 for a more modern gun. That is an operational piece of history that is more than adequate for home defense. If it were mine I would have it checked out and\or repaired by a competent 1911 gunsmith and keep the old jewel around. If you feel you need to install some modern parts to achieve your goal of a good defense weapon, go for it but just don't do anything to alter the original parts. Keep anything you took off it in a safe place for the future. :twocents: [/QUOTE]
