A real Colt has a thinner and more radiused front strap than a Springfield or Caspian. It makes a difference in the "point" of the gun, assuming same pattern grips, mainspring housing, and trigger. The grip safety does not affect my handling once I have a firing grip, but I like a beavertail for a smooth draw and to spread the recoil. I can't tell much difference by brand.
Sorry, I don't have much experience with the semi-customs like Brown, Baer, or Wilson.
