    Lets open our minds for a moment. If I were a designer of handguns my ultimate handgun would have:

    Semi-auto CHECK
    Glock reliablity (no arguement here) CHECK (100% reliable thus far)
    1911 grip angle CHECK
    1911 trigger pull (single action) CHECK
    Glock trigger reset Negative - 1911 reset is better.
    Standard barrel rifling that shoots lead CHECK
    5" compensated barrel Hmm.. It could have been made with 5" compensated.. This one's a 3.5" compensated.
    .45 ACP CHECK
    Double stack 15+ rounds (I have large hands) Build it on a 2011 frame
    Target sights with Tritium inserts Combat sight with tritium insert
    All carbon steel construction Carbon frame with stainless. Slide available in carbon.
    Blued finish done by Les Baer (beautiful!!) Bah, blued.. Tennifer (Melonite) FTW
    1911 single sided extended style saftey CHECK
    70 series (Grip saftey, no firing pin saftey) CHECK
    No rail CHECK


    Man, this is really close.

          There's a ton of stuff like that already out there. You just aren't buying the right gun.

          I've never seen a Les Baer with a nice finish.
          I move slow but I make up for it by shooting poorly.

          When I hit the lotto I'm only shooting factory.

            Picking up my Mark23 today... slap a LAM on it and that would be golden for me.

              Browning High Power in .45ACP. But lose the mag disconnect.

                Springfield Custom.

                You can't duplicate 1911 A1 ergonomics with a double-stack.

                  I will have to commend leelaw's taste in smithing and finishing his custom Caspian. That is also my choice for an ultimate HD gun. A custom 1911 is hard to beat.

                    defying physics. i'd like a sig P228 that could eat a steady diet of 357SIG.... that's basically a P229 but i like the weight and balance of the P228.
