Thanks for that. Those photos are friggin nice and only push me closer to it. I should state that I wanted to use it as a carry gun. Have you every carried it Mr. Penguin?

Just once, but it carried very easily. The bobtail does make a difference and the gun is nice and thin...especially after I put the slim profile grips shown on it. It is awful nice for a carry gun though...but it is all stainless so if you ding it up a bit it can be made to look brand new pretty easily.
I would probably go as far as saying it is the nicest 1911 I own...and I own more than a few of them. It is pretty much a custom level gun at a production level price.
I carry mine daily.. It is..as mentioned..not as lightweight as an alloy frame..but in my Crossbreed Qwik Clip..I tend to forget about it.. It's one of the best 1911's I've ever owned.. Fit..finish..accuracy..all A+
Thanks to everyone that had input on here. I really do appreciate it. Doupletap, do you use the quick clip most of the time with that gun?
It has developed some peening on the slide stop
& has had a few failures to lock back on the last shot.
I'll dissent slightly on this - I have one & it has a few problems. It has developed some peening on the slide stop & has had a few failures to lock back on the last shot. I understand the slide stop peening can happen on any gun, but doesn't happen on many (most?) of them. Mostly a cosmetic issue, but it doesn't make me happy. (especially for a gun in this price range) The failure to lock may be attributed to a (factory) magazine problem - I haven't had a chance to re-evaluate this yet.
Plus sides: feel in the hand w/ the bobtail is very nice; slide-to-frame tolerance is excellent; pretty accurate (more so than I am); looks great.
