[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 3846667, member: 4606"] I'm an unapologetic 1911 guy. They fit my hands, point well, and I just plain shoot them better than any other platform. I've had Kimber, Sig, S&W, Springfield, Ruger and just inherited my Dad's old "Combat Commander" as he called it. All steel, series 70. I haven't shot it (Dad may have put an entire magazine through it once). It's damn near new from the looks of it and I have zero idea how old it is. I remember he got it in a trade around 1984. The "box" is two pieces of styrofoam and a thin cardboard "wood look" sleeve with the Colt logo. I can't say I've shot a Colt much, if at all. But, my Springfields have been great. One is a Mil-Spec and the other is the Emissary. The Emissary is one [I]fine[/I] pistol. The Mil Spec is entry level, but well put together. Just picked up a Staccato P Duo today. I'll let you guys (and gals) know whether or not it sucks. [/QUOTE]
