| Welcome to The M1911 Pistols Organization Forums Site. | ||||
|
This site is part of The M1911 Pistols Organization, or M1911.ORG for short. Our organization is an on-line reference on the M1911 pistol. Our first site was created in 1994, as a service to Internet community, interested in this fine firearm. We currently maintain three sites, for the M1911 pistols lover:
- Our Home Page, which is an on-line, encyclopedia-like site, with everything you want to know about the M1911. You may freely browse through this site and read the topics covered, but you will have to register with us, in order to participate in our discussions. Registration is of course free. Just click here or at the "Register" link above. Again, thanks for stopping by. We hope you will enjoy our site. On behalf of the M1911.ORG Team John Caradimas |
