Episode Overview
“Two World Wars” is a long-form conversation about the 1911: where the platform came from, how it has evolved, and where it still fits for shooters who understand its strengths, limitations, setup, maintenance, and training requirements. The panel approaches the pistol as a working system rather than a purely historical artifact.
