I was a student in a class; a older student brought in a 1911. No biggie, WRONG!!!
It was a custom firearm, done by I have no idea whom, for the Texas Ranger of the Year (sorry I forget the year, circa 1960). It had aluminum stocks on it that were bowed out.
The student dropped a round from the breach into the frame, it flipped inside the frame and was half in the stocks. This was day 1 of a 4 day class, the instructors were running up and down the line helping people get unloaded. I helped the student get that pesky round out. I was told at the end of class by the instructors about the history of the weapon.
Damn I should have gotten a pic and talked to the owner. He may have been the Texas Ranger presented with that weapon, or his buddy that was there with him.
