Man, once you drink the 1911 Kool aid, you won't go back. Esp compared to that smith you have to carry.
Thin, perfect grip, amazing triggers, good ergo's, they just work.
They feel right.

I have only 3 kinds of pistols in my armory.
Revolvers (not necessarily useful, but ain't much prettier than a blue and wood revolver)
Glocks (well dammit, no matter how bad teh ergo's are, they work)
1911's

Don't cheap out on a 1911, get a nice one, and get a single stack. (the double stack ruins the whole thin effect) and think "wow, John Moses Browning is the man" :mrgreen:
