American Valentines Day

John Moses Browning, Jr (MPBUH) was issued a patent for his design of the Model 1911 on February 14, 1911.



There are three iconic American handguns, two of them were first made by Colt for the U.S. Army: The Model 1873 and 1911. (The third iconic handgun was the Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector Model of 1899, which became the Hand Ejector Model of 1905, then the Military & Police and finally, the Models 10/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/65/65/66/67/68).

Of all of them, if any one is still in production on the date of James T. Kirk's birth, it will be the 1911.

(Also, it is the 111th birthday of the 1911, a birthday number that is significant to LOTR fans.)

    There is a John Moses Browning museum in Provo where I saw the very first 1911. 1911 number one.
    I still get chills. It's worth a road trip. It's run by the Browning family.
