I won't lie, S&W actually makes a decent 1911.
I just hate ANY firearm that has "Warning, may fire when magazine not inserted" written on that. If you need that engraved on your gun, you shouldn't be touching one. 😕

For people having problems activating the grip safety you can take the beavertail off and very gently file down the tab that prevents the trigger from moving backwards, a little at a time checking as you go until it disengages with the lightest touch.
Jon
If you file too much, you can lay the tab on a vise or anvil and spread it back out with a hammer.

And my final purchase arrived today, the Springfield Armory Garrison commander 1911. I love the polished blued look. You rarely see that on modern firearms, seems like they're all matte these days.

Heh, well I didn't have a modern 5" government model 1911 and this came up brand new for a good deal so I jumped on it, would have preferred a tanner color, but I like it so far and it feels amazing in hand.
