I handled a Ruger 1911 and I didn't like the beaver tail grip safety. The original grip safety feels much better to me. I had a 1911 made in 1919 with no collector value (then) and traded it off. High Brass fussed during our last weekly Sunday talk about that trade. I had no idea how much he liked that pistol so much but he was in jr. high then. I had forgotten how good a 1911 felt in my hand.
