[QUOTE="surjimmy, post: 3012407, member: 1551"] The 1911's of today are so far ahead of the past, there's no question to that. Right now you can buy a Colt that has all the add on's for under $1000. If you bought this gun 30 yrs ago and had a gun smith do the work it would have cost $1500 plus the cost of the gun. IMO people watch these video's of pro shooters or here's the big one MOVIES and think they have to have it on their gun. You have everyday people caring 3 guns and 60 rounds of ammo, and this is their EDC. there's no need for this. Sorry for the rant. Back to your question, no there is no need. What I require for a carry in a 1911 is first and foremost reliability, nice sites for my old eyes. Now what I want is the 2 things I've said, LW Commander and prefer it being worked over by a master gunsmith, but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
