I agree in that it just feels right, in 45 ACP only, thoughJeepnik said:On a slightly different note, the feel of a 1911 in my hand, the sound as the slide is racked, the authoritative but not abusive recoil all instill confidence in the pistol. Do your part and a 1911 will do its.
Jeepnik said:Like I said personal preference. I like and arched housing. It fits in the palm of my hand comfortably and comfortingly. But, I started with and arched housing and all but one of my 1911's have arched housings. When I pick up the one with a flat housing I have to "think" about getting a proper grip. With the arched housing it just slips right in place and locks down solid.

I may be splitting hairs, but is it personal preference to have a gun come up naturally with the sights aligned versus always having to consciously adjust so they are aligned, or just a better fit?
