    I got tangled up with Para Ordnance...what a steaming pile of cast and crappy MIM parts. My Kimber and S&W 1911 SC run great. I was always attracted to the thinness of the platform and its natural pointing properties. John Moses Browning was a hell of a designer. I do find that I also prefer the arched MSH on a 1911.

    I have appreciated that the manufacturers are also going with thinner designs these days for CCW.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
