[QUOTE="Tom K, post: 956690, member: 9906"] This is a model that you buy for a couple of reasons. One, is to buy it as a collector's item and investment and put it away, unfired. Another reason is to be able to have and shoot a fine representative example of what the WWI doughboys used, without having to spend huge amounts of money for a similarly fine original. If this is the case, then you [B]want[/B] all of the original features and flaws, including the tiny sights, short grip safety (which may allow hammer bite), small safety lever, etc. If you don't actually want these things, buy a modern 1911. This is not really a gun to buy as your one and only. It's a collector's piece, or a link to history. [/QUOTE]
