I became a big fan of the 1911 a long time ago as a 12 yr old. My dad's best friend was a former Marine Gunny and he introduced me to the venerable 1911 (dad was a S&W revolver guy). In addition to learning to handle the pistol I learned how to field strip and clean it. He commented one day how I was like a surgeon working on it and he dubbed me "Doc 45". It's stuck with me.

We always called going out shooting as going out BLASTING. So, Blaster was my choice.
