I don’t think I would want one anyway. Just too short for a 1911. Now a Commander or Combat Commander would be fine.
Of course if you want one that is enough of a reason. Too bad for California residents.
I guess that's why he said, "While I love my 1911s, and I don't own any that can realistically be used for International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) or United States Pistol Shooting (USPSA) competitions. The reason is that I do not own target guns designed to be "race guns." I own basic close quarter self-defense guns. Yes, no frills self defense guns like the Colt Series 70 above."
