That Double Eagle thing was a complete POS, complete with a recall.Colt made the Double Eagle to compete with Smith&Wessons double actions. Plus there were some gunsmith like Swenson that converted the 1911 to double action.
1903 "Hammerless"Hmmm, was there ever a kit/fix/part to put on a 1911 to hide the C&L hammer from pantywaistes?

For a while a guy made a conversion that would cock the pistol when you squeezed it. I got to handle one once and it of course was not for me but was "interesting". Cavelle or something like that? Been a long time. Even with it the hammer had to be at the half cock notch but for most they would not notice that.Hmmm, was there ever a kit/fix/part to put on a 1911 to hide the C&L hammer from pantywaistes?

After owning both 1911 and 1903. I felt the 1903 was a better design. After learning the development history of the 1911 being accepted by the army, the army really messed up the original design of the 1907.
I'm reminded of Seecamp as wellColt made the Double Eagle to compete with Smith&Wessons double actions. Plus there were some gunsmith like Swenson that converted the 1911 to double action.

But, but,.....................its a GLOCK!!After owning both 1911 and 1903. I felt the 1903 was a better design. After learning the development history of the 1911 being accepted by the army, the army really messed up the original design of the 1907.
Glock has proven you dont need all the BS changes make to the 1907 to become the 1911
Triggered much? Go be a snowflake some other place.But, but,.....................its a GLOCK!!
My humor often does not come through in writing.Triggered much? Go be a snowflake some other place.
Since you clearly dont know the history of the 1911 being accepted by the army. Some of changes from the 1907 to the 1911 that the army demanded was, external hammer and thumb safety. Many modern firearms, yes glock being the first and most widely accepted, have proven to be irrelevant requirements.
