[buffalowinter]

This is a copy of John Dillinger's modified 1911. The work was done by Hyman Lebman, a San Antonio gunsmith who modified many firearms for the Motorized Bandits. Texas gunsmith Hyman Lebman was infamous for modifying 1911s. He would attach a compensator, a foregrip from the Thompson 1921, and an 18 round extended magazine. Models were made in .38 Super and .45 ACP. Some of these guns had rifle stocks attached to them. Lebman 1911,s in both .38 Super and .45 ACP were found in the possession of Baby Face Nelson and John Dillinger.

38 super is a cool little round. Took my CCW class with an 80s era Colt 38 super when I lived in Tejas. The instructor said “finally, a real gun brought to my class”.
