Alright, since you guys are showing off, here's mine.
Your are correct about peoples attitude on the external extractor but what sometimes is ignored is the fact that Browning's later designs used external extractors...he was not opposed to them. I agree on the E series being a great 1911. I have a "pre" E series that shoots just as well but I really like the elimination of the firing pin block in the E series...makes cleaning much easier!
As for no much posting on the 1911? Not sure...everyone has at least one, right?
I am jealous!!! I finally got my hands on a 1911 SC E series bobtail, and it will definitely be in my collection in the future. The gun has near perfect balance.
