I have no doubt that it would shoot. It is maintained as well as any in my safe. The caveat to this is I may take my grandson out and let him shoot it some day. But he will have to be old enough to understand the sentiment behind it.The Annoyed Man wrote:I also have my dad's WW2 1911. I don't shoot it very often, but I do shoot it. It runs like a champ.

Re: Too Nice to Shoot...
I also shoot all but 1 gun. That gun happens to be my grandfathers 1911 that was issued to him in WW2. How he came home with it I'll never know since he's been gone since 1968. Although I am sure it will shoot and I clean it every time I clean one of my guns, I just haven't been able to bring myself to shoot it.
