I have both eras, like both. The fit & finish on my old, blue Models 19 and 29 are first rate. My Colt 1911 Series 70 Mk.IV is as dependable and probably more accurate, (way more trigger time), than any of the newer occupants of my safe. All that said, I carry either an M&P Shield or Compact 9. Uniform sights, higher capacity and simpler manual of arms if I need to put it into action quickly. That, and should the worst ever happen, (God forbid), one of my classics won't spend what would likely be the rest of my life in a police evidence locker.
