    Please help;What to engrave on left side of 1911 build?

    I was planning on having 1911-2011 engraved on the right side of the slide with eagles on both sides at the very end of the slide. Now what to put on the left side? I've thought of "American Classic", "In God We Trust", which I really don't like. I need help here guys so what's your thoughts?

    LP thank you for the idea. For those of you not familiar to the phrase: “ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ” (or in latin script “Molon labe”) means “Come and take them!”. It is what the Spartans reportedly said to the Persians when they were told to surrender their weapons. It's what I'm going to tell the Obama police when they come for my weapons. All things considered not a bad slogan.

    So far your ideas sound like obamas. How about engraving something like "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    I was thinking "Suck on this!". But a good "Go F Yourself Obama" would be cool too. Maybe the Molon Labe thing below?

    Wait for flash

    Seriously, I'm not a huge fan of engraving a lot of stuff, but it should be something classy and a little mysterious.

    I personally like Donald Sutherland's engraving on the 1911 he used in "The Mechanic" that said "Amat Victoria Curam" which is latin for "Victory loves preparation."

    I'm getting a tatoo when I get home of what Russell Crowe said in Gladiator, "What we do in life echoes in eternity" with a little Marine Corps flair.
