    I just recently purchased my first custom 1911. I purchased a WC X-TAC Professional 4" in 9mm. It is their base model. I did some trading and picked up a WC Vickers Elite in 9mm and a Vickers Elite Black Edition in 45acp.

    The X-TAC is all steel but should ride good in a DeSantis 002 Speed Scabbard I have coming. It functions just as nice as the Vickers Elite does, just none of the extras. I do prefer the medium length trigger on the Vickers over the long pad of the X-Tac. Still not sure if I like the Sunburst grips. The Vickers fill my hand without voids. Grip panels are an easy change. Not sold on the gold bead front sight either.
    OH YES, I am a BIG Fan of front serrations. The X-TAC does not have them, but being 9mm the slide is easy to clamp the slide out front and press check or rack it.
    Nothing I can't work through with the X-TAC. It should be quieter, No BELLS AND WHISTLES making so much noise.

    So much ammo to shoot, so little time for a retired person, now the chief cook and bottle washer. Honey DOos.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.

    Well done, looks like somebody jumped in with both feet. Sweet 1911 family. That 9mm is one of the hottest rigs around these days.
