Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it. I spent a long time shopping for a good pistol in the $1000 range so it's all in my head at the moment. If you are interested in a carry pistol and like the 1911, a SiG 938 might be something to look at. I haven't been able to fire one yet but I dry fired one the other day and it was sweet! It's by far the nicest "carry" 1911 I've ever held and the trigger was crisp.

It would certainly "go" with a normal sized 1911 very well.
