What is "RETRO" applied to a simple, functional, professionally set up 1911 pistol? Nothing retroactive about that--it's what the piece was meant to be.
"Lines to my Lady 45" could never have been written about these tricked out game guns or so-called duty guns with a host of modifications and add-ons whose primary purpose is simply to make the owner feel more professional in terms set by media rather than practical usage.
