Another thing I like about this pistol is what is not on it. Specifically two things; there is no full length guide rod and there is no oversized, aircraft carrier sized safety lever that seem to be all the rage with competitive shooters. In my mind nothing could be more competitive than combat shooting when your life is on the line but yet these over-sized safeties are rightfully left off of combat pistols. When I see those horseshoe sized ambidextrous safeties encircling the frame I often wonder if the owner is over compensating for something. The standard guide plug is a welcome sight as the full length rods have never been proven to enhance reliability or accuracy. All they serve to do is make the pistol more difficult to take apart. Noted custom 1911 builder Ed Brown does not put them on his pistols and if the standard plug is good enough for Ed Brown I can think of no better endorsement.

As I said at the beginning, I love this pistol. When your back is against the wall and the breaks are beating the boys this is pistol I want to have with me.
