What? I thought you got a Dan Wesson and were in love with the 1911 platform. Maybe I got my guys mixed up.
The Springfield I believe is a bit deeper through the grip. Auto Ordnance I believe is the same way.
It's not terribly noticeable to me in the grip but making grips I don't want to use an AO for a model. The grip will be too large on the others.
I'm not really a 1911 fan, I was rearranging the other day, (got a second safe) and found I had 9. I don't think Greg is either, I think he has 27 or maybe 52, I can never keep track.
Since I'm not a fan I'm kind of on the prowl for a 1911 9mm but it got pushed on the back burner, trying to fund a HI Standard 22 a sgt here has for sale.
Want's never seem to end for me. Keep thinking this is it, I got it covered, but nooooooooo.....................
