  OUT OF THE BOX  
  Grandson Brian John Panzella, age 16, gives us his best “John Taffin Shooting Stance” sans cowboy hat.  
     
  No handgun has ever been subject to more modifications than John Browning’s .45 ACP Model 1911. Ten years after it was adopted by the US Army the flat mainspring housing was replaced by an arched version while the long trigger was shortened. This was done to prevent what some thought was a natural tendency for the original 1911 to shoot low. The improved version became the 1911-A1.

Dozens upon dozens of manufacturers and custom gunsmiths have done everything imaginable to the original 1911. It has been chopped and channeled, beavertailed, melted, fitted with longer barrels and slides, high cap magazines, extended slide stops and thumb safeties. It has received all manner of sighting systems both fixed and adjustable and even some mounted on full-length ribs on top of the slide.
