Finally decided on a .45:

You realize they make a little $4 shim that takes care of that problem right?

To the OP, nice gun.....I want the all black one ever since I saw it at Valkyrie Arms.

You realize that they make them without the trigger-based safety, right?

Nice 1911. I own RIA 1911, glock 21, and springfield Xd45. I'd have to say the springfield has my vote though, you can't go wrong with either.

Yes I do because I just recently bought one and I was extremely lucky to find one new never fired for $800 shipped and I had VA do the sse transfer. Colt does not currently make a rail gun with a series 70 firing mechanism and that is what the op is talking about.
