[jpm]

A vintage belt, holster and mag holster would be awesome compliment and I'm on the look out for that stuff.

call The Armory in woburn, pretty sure they still have some of those

Original holsters a re very expensive now but there are quality replicas available.

A friend of mine retired as a Colonel. He carried a .45 in a tanker holster while he was in Iraq. Old School! Authentic tanker holsters are really expensive.

I had an original tanker style 1911 holster a few years back. The strap holding the pistol in place was broken though. Sold it on Gunboards for, $75 I think. El Paso Saddlery makes a nice repro.

blast from the past:
new "period correct" scales, same gun.
looks the same, shoots the same, feels the same - somehow is better...
