    I picked one up a month or so ago and I am real happy with it. Mine, although not like a bar of soap, does not have "razor sharp edges".
    Maybe I got the only good one. I did, however, change out the grips for some double-diamond VZ and I replaced the polymer MSH with a VZ metal one.

    That is an excellent Colt!

    Everything you need...nothing you do not.

    Now if they would just start making those out of their Series 70 guns....oh boy.

    Why would you prefer that?

    Tied a set of laser grips on today. I had to take out the short bushings because the long screws dont really get enough thread to reliably hold. Also blasted an additional 100 rounds down the pipe. That makes a total of 300 problem free rounds. I brought out my other Colt that I built myself (Well, I dropped in a trigger job, commander hammer, Wilson grip, dehorned, trigger, etc. Obviously, the trigger was better on my built gun. But otherwise I preferred the Talo gun.

    Some observations on the laser grips. Unfortunately, my grip has migrated so high up on the gun that my knuckle is rubbing on the diode housing. Not a big deal, but it is distracting.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    I haven't seriously considered picking up another 1911 in years, however I think this Colt is going to find it's way into my pile.

    Thanks for the info. I think this gun will be a good choice for me to get a 1911 in my safe once again.

    That thumb safety looks better than the one they put on the regular XSEs.

    Glad they at least decided to put on the correct beavertail grip safety, instead of the awful down sweeping duckbill.

    I recall you wanted to purchase my Colt LW Commander with that "godawful baked on tactical crap finish" .....

    I've always wondered why sight companies didnt already do this. A slight countersink just makes sense.
