[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3485314, member: 7157"] I’m talking about the shape of the back strap on a 1911. The original was flat with a sharp acute corner at the bottom, while the A1 model had a curved back strap with a slightly rounded corner. Why do so many modern 1911’s have the flat back strap? In my hand, the A1 back strap feels miles better, but whenever I look for a full sized 1911, I see so few with the A1 grip. Why do makers seem to favor the original grip? [/QUOTE]
