    Noooooooooo.......blasphemy !!!!!
    On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
    The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

    Interesting. I would hope the out the door price is a couple hundred less than the posted MSRP.

    I imagine a lot of 1911 traditionalists are going to decry the plastic frame. But it is a plus for me because a 2.5 lb gun does not appeal to me at all.
    Very interesting...

    Interesting. If I want a plastic .45, I'm packing a Glock21/30. Guess I am a traditionalist, but I like my classic guns and revolvers in metals of some sort. Different strokes. Bet some will love it.

    At risk of being kicked off this forum (and maybe kicked off the whole wide internet) i'll say this.... Sweet!! I dig it. If I had any desire to carry a 1911, this would have potential. I just dont dig single action only guns. Hmmm maybe a polymer LDA Para "1911"? Commence flaming...

    What's not to like about a single action semi-auto pistol?

    The 1911 is DA/SA if you de-**** it ever so carefully.

    Nope. It's single action only. That's why so many carry them cocked and locked, although I think fanning the hammer with the palm of your weak hand (or with the thumb when drawing the gun with very careful trigger finger control) could be done about as fast as taking the safety off. Cocking the hammer on a SAO gun doesn't seem to slow Bob Munden down any at all!

    How is it single action only when the hammer is down? I had a 1911, it's definitely not single action when you pull the trigger with the hammer down.
