I'm with nox on this one. Been carrying one for 30 years. Drifted over to a Glock here and there, but always came back to the 1911. Currently carrying a Colt Combat Commander with some Magpul OD green grips

Hah!...It might be worth big bucks today if I decided to sell it, but I have an embarrassingly small amount of real bucks in it...He of the big bucks

And with my admittedly rusty shooting skills, I'll bet that Remington would shoot just as well as my Colt in my arthritic fingers......Ben

It does shoot very well Ben.
I am sure I have mentioned in the past that I fell in love with the 1911 while in the Army. I was required to be armed at all times and the 1911 was always on my side with the other (not always carried) being an M1 carbine.
For some reason, the occasional ability to see the bullet trajectory on sunny days appealed to me

I was chuckling the other day when reading tru some of your old threads about old age and shooting.I can still sorta shoot a pistol but open sights on a long gun are a problem. I was complaining about it 10 years ago on my muzzleloader
(and yes i did go to a williams peep-still a little sketchy in low light)
I especially liked you geezers not being able to open your safes.I have one that opens sometimes and another that works good. I dont get it
I dont have problems with my fingers but my brain seems to be defective. When I was shooting alot of trap I got to flinching so bad i had to go to a release triggerA release on a bench rifle would be the crats azz.

I'm not sure how far back you went but I solved my problem with open sights on a shotgun with a rifled barrel that I use in some places for deer. Obviously it was not a candidate for a peep sight and someone lead me to this. An excellent solution to a nagging problem.
