If I'm able to travel West again, I'll probably head more north to Wyoming, or Montana. If a grizz gets me, it'll be an OK ending !

My first four years of active duty were spent in Colorado, it used to be one of my favorite states but it's changed a lot since the 90's, too bad.As much as I hate what Colorado is trying to do to their Ballot, it sure is beautiful out there. I spent about a year total in Colorado when I was in the Air Force. Back then, it was a different world as far as the people, and attitudes.
I was looking through some photos this morning, and ran into this one of the overlook to Garden of the Gods (near Colorado Springs). I can smell the pine-fresh air just by looking at this !

My parents lived in Aurora, CO for a short stint (maybe 1965-68?) when my father was a geologist for Marathon oil.As much as I hate what Colorado is trying to do to their Ballot, it sure is beautiful out there.

They both agree that it was an amazing place to be.
My father had moved from NY to Bloomington to get his Masters at IU and married my mother. When he took the job in CO, they lived in a mobile home. My mother said it was the weirdest thing to move across the county and still live in the same house.
Wish they had bought some acreage there to leave to their favorite son.

One of my sisters lives in the Denver area.

It really is awesome scenery out there. I took a lot of pics but I won’t bore you with my amateur cell phone photography skills.
My afternoon:
2 pm: Runs out to a very muddy construction site for a last minute progress inspection.
2:20 pm: Tears out zipper on muck boot.
2:21 pm: Decides these boots are probably 25 years old and are past due for replacement.
3:15 to 3:35 pm. WTH?????? upwards of $200 for a pair of muck boots????
3:38: Complain on INGO and wait for prices to return to 2015.

I'd love to see that in person. There was a documentary on the science channel that included that area as part of the show.
While shopping yesterday, I ran into the same thing. INSANE prices.
The Mouse would say: WTAF !
Cabelas has their own brand usually around $100 or so. Muck brand are usually more expensive.
A little help from the CZ experts please. I looked at a Shadow 2 compact at the LGS today. There is a lot to like about the gun but a few issues. Number 1, the safety is terrible. Low profile and hard to use. I want to carry it the same way as my Staccato, cocked and locked. I assume there are other more 1911 like safeties available? Number 2, as a lefty that extended mag release has to go. Lower profile, or are the ambi swappable? Number 3 and perhaps the biggest obstacle, you have to use plates for optics. The factory plates appear to be often sold out and are thick as heck. It looks like C and H does make some. Any other recommendations?
Thanks

A few of you have given the open-mouth WOW emoticon as a response.
Seriously as a heart attack (and B2V knows how serious that is) : I'd rather be killed by a bear at 72 years old, than live (barely) as a mouth-drooler in a nursing home.
Of course, I'd rather have options other than the (2) above, and hope that I will.
But, you never know your path until it happens, and then it's often too late to change course.
Native Americans used to just wander out in the snow/cold when they felt their usefulness was expended. For their time in life's stream, that made perfect sense, and I think that they were wise !
So sayeth MM ! But never fear. I hope that I'm in Montana searching for dinosaur bones when I'm in my 90's !

Grand Teton Nat. Park, Aug. 2015. Just a cheap point and shoot camera but easy to take decent pics thereThis is part of the Wind River range in Wyoming, that I visited in 2012.
From the road side. I was standing with the car between him and me. There were some stupid folks that were walking towards him. We left!
Those are great pics, Norm, and I agree that it's a beautiful area. I visited that park many moons ago, as part of a west coast motorcycle trip.
Yeah, you get one of those beasts riled up, and they'll kill you deader than a hammer !
I’ll give this a shot here but the S2C aren’t running around the group yet.
1) Cajun Gun Works should have extended safeties. You will not find as many options as 1911s.
2) mag release is swappable.
3) Mounting plates are the set up to not direct mount the optic. They provide flexibility of optic footprint but (obviously) require a plate. Trade offs….
But
If you want to carry cocked and lock and not utilize the da/sa feature of the S2c, why not get a DWXc and direct mount an appropriate patterned optic? That’s what I did. Gives you the best of CZ ergos, 1911 ignition parts and a little Sig thrown in for fun.
Thanks for the response. I looked at the DWX a few months ago and while I liked it didn't feel it was worth so much extra money vs the CZ especially after sending it out for an optics cut.
