I recently bought a Sig1911 C3 of which I'm really happy. However, I did rack the slide on both the G and C model DE 1911s. Very smooth slide with no discernable play, very good trigger for a 1911 <$700 but the sights were matte black and my old eyes couldn't see them well(no contrast). The G model had front cocking serrations and hardwood grips. The C model just the wood grips. Anybody shot either of these weapons. The only downside in my mind was the feed ramp was on the frame and not intergal with the barrel. The ramp also looked to be a prime candidate for a polish job. Any comments?
