Did the Tyler-T go to a new home?

A member on another forum said Check-mate Industries has 9mm mags for the 1911 platform.

PM sent.

I understand the accuracy or inaccuracy of anecdotal history, but it is still fun digging. My friend is 69 yr. old. He said he remembers finding a box in the attic containing the gun in the holster when he was about 15 yr. old. The family is not gun people. I have to surmise that the gun has been in...
