Am I the only guy in America who doesn't have duck-butt "beavertail" grip safties on all his 1911s?
I've been getting along just fine with 1911A1 grip safeties for 32 years now and see no need to make my guns look like the rear end of a Z/28 Camaro. The duck-butts feel okay but not really any better, and I don't shoot them any better.
I also must have the last solid .45 triggers in existence, judging from the gun magazines. I understand skeletonizing your trigger if it's made from solid steel (a la the Gold Cup), but honestly, do those three little holes in an aluminum trigger really do anything for you--besides collect lint, I mean?
And I don't get the skeletonized Commander hammers, either. If you want a lighter hammer, why not just hack off the useless underside of the burr, the way Col. Jeff did on the "9mm Super Cooper" of 1975? Hell, then you wouldn't even need the duck-butt grip safety.
Maybe I'm just stuck in the '60s, gun-wise....
