Take a ten yard penality for unwarranted conclusion jumping, Sean. I didn't say there was anything wrong with the trigger on my GSR and if I seemed to imply it set it down to my poor writing skills. The trigger was good; I wanted it better and to my own taste. We don't want to argue that the 1911 is obviously a flawed pistol because people change stocks, sights, and just about everything else on it. I'm tempted to tease you about the Delta Elite needing a lot of expensive work to make it right, but I won't do that because I've followed your lead and I'm having one customized right now--but differently from yours.
Where we agree completely, of course, is in the way a 1911 must look: parkerized, spur hammer, spur grip safety, short solid trigger, no lowered or flared ejection port, flat mainspring housing with a lanyard loop ring on it, and the tiniest possible sights. If it was good enough for John Browning it's good enough for us.
On a similarly good-natured note, one of the above messages mentions some discomfort with the GSR beavertail. It's one of the GSR's most attractive features for me. I did find the GSR's industrial look a bit offputting at first but now I rather like it.
For whatever it's worth, I'm not a fan of the usual SIG pistol. Try as I might to like them, mostly because some friends of mine are devotees, I haven't found one that suited me. I really like the GSR though and I intend to look at any future offerings in the 1911 mode. I even suggested that SIG consider making one in 10mm, although of course there will be one less potential customer if you won't change your mind.
This is the first post on which I tried using emoticons (the original term for "smilies") so I apologize if I got too carried away with them.
