Stop it! Lol. My walther PPS .40 currently fills the role of compact carry...but I have been glancing at the compact 1911s a bit more as of late.
My g/f wants her first carry piece, but keeps changing her mind... PPS, or a compact 1911, or maybe a M&Pc... lol

but I love the original style and shape.
and for the sake of originality, Colt is absolute top dog.
Remember, if its not a Colt, its just a copy.
now don't do anything stupid, like cutting into that Colt to "customize" it.
In the world of old Colt 1911s, "customize" is just a fancy word for RUIN.
IMHO
(im sure im gonna b*tched at for saying that) hahahaha

I'm inclined to agree.... and this is also why any old Colts I'd own would be strictly safe queens.
The beavertail is the single noteworthy improvement on JMB's design, and I really won't do without.

meh, I dont mind putting wear on my Colt, an old Colt with some wear is a classic with stories to tell.
I just dont like when someone wanting there first 1911 stumbles into a good deal for an old colt...but they want a wilson combat (because thats what they have been told is cool) they go right to the gun smith and have em bolt every part they can afford on it and have the smith lower and flair the ejection port....
its like modernizing a classic car...just go buy a modern car and let the classic stay classic.
as for the weenie-tail grip safety...im not a fan...theres no need for it.
*whispers* pssst, I have a nasty scar on the web of my right hand...I like the classic style and thats what ill have tell I die, but damn it hurts sometimes, so I understand why you prefer the beaver tail.
don't tell the other 1911 purists I said that.
hhahahaahahahah

I'm not worried about wear, either. The GI grip safety is what would keep it in the safe.
One of my 1911s still has the GI grip safety, and I never shoot it anymore. I simply use too high a grip, and I guess my hands are too fat or whatever. It's really not a choice; I'll have blood dripping down my hand after the first shot if I shoot a standard 1911 with the grip I've become comfortable with.
At first, the mark/scar didn't bother me. The problem was when I went back to the GI after becoming wholly accustomed to a higher grip after buying a beavertailed model, I found myself literally dripping blood. Not cool at a range with lead everywhere.
