[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3485335, member: 26737"] Personally, I do not get the modern fascination with flat backstraps at all. As noted, the arched mainspring housing was one of the improvements made to the original 1911 design, but it seems like everybody has decided to unlearn that lesson. It’s not just 1911s; it’s even being applied to the crunchentickers. To each his own, I suppose, but to me, it’s taking a big step backwards. Those flat backstraps almost universally leave the pistol in a natural nose-down attitude in my hand, where the pistols with curved/arched backstraps generally naturally point better. [/QUOTE]
