    The 1911 was one of John Browning's best designs. It's over 100 years old and they're still making and selling more of them than ever!

    Told the story many times; owing most every dime made and the trade made for me, to Mr. Browning, no question about it.

    Regarding the film's conclusion, the smile of that Ensign says it all, hitting that slide release. Learning what might be the first mechanism she'd been inside of.
