This thread always makes me want to look for a new 1911. Can't help it. Maybe I should get off my duff and finish my scratch built dream pistol with all the features I really like.

Vertical cocking serrations, flat msh with a lanyard loop, short wide spur hammer, pre A1 grip safety, half moon front sight, fine deep checkering on the trigger, hammer, slide stop and thumb safety (like a post WW1 commercial pistol). Polished and finished off with a deep deep blue and dressed in a set of blonde colored razor sharp checkered walnut stocks. I know its not correct for any period but its ideal to me. Taking some artistic license with the design, sort of like the USFA 1910 from a few years ago. What I wouldn't give for one of those!

Sorry, I was just thinking out loud and drooling on my keyboard.
