    Well...
    2012 enhanced CCG (Colt Combat Government) TALO special edition from the custom shop (not assembly line). It has Novak sights (fiber optic front) and and a National Match barrel. Been stewing about it for awhile. If it wasn't an 80s series it would be home with me already. However...even so, it has a really super smooth trigger with just a teeny bit of take up.
    I've decided to pull that trigger tomorrow.

    Did you get it? I went looking for it today (and to visit with John), and it was gone.

    * I didn't buy it, I'm just teasing JetGirl. But don't tell her*
    Oh, it's safely tucked away on premisses. I'll be doing paperwork on it in about 2hours. :):
    And I see how it is... OD* goes to visit but not ME. I see how it is. Yep. Don't try to talk your way out of that one. I see how I rate.
    I'm gonna start breaking out the "When OD* tried to put together a 1911 with an audience, the pressure was too much and guess what happened NEXT" story.
    Oh, snap! she just went there.

    I like that last photo :thumbsup:
    Thanks. It's the only one that kind of showed off the fiber optic. I like that the length of it is encased. The ends are sort of bubbled so it's super secure in there.
    I really like the sight picture with it, and it seems like it's acquired faster even with my sucky vision.
    Old eyes suck. Getting old sucks. Don't do it.
