Still keep my 77 greased and ready to kick ass. It's the 1911 of

Heh, well put.

The 77 is heavy but, if you use it right, it and gravity are your
friends.


I noticed yesterday in a big-box store that their 77s were made in China. I
wonder if some are still U.S.-made, or have they moved all their production
overseas? I see quite a few on Craig's List for $80-90, some as low as $50.
A 77 is on the list, I just want to find a nice clean one at the right
price.
