By fast back, do you mean Bob tail? I have never heard of a fast back frame but I am sure there are a lot of thing I have never heard of.

I've got two 1911's now, and I've carried and shot a lot of them down thru the years. My Colt Delta Elite digs into the heel of my hand, whereas my Kimber Super Carry Custom HD with round heel doesn't. My Kimber is now my EDC for last few years.

The bigger one is the absolute sweetest shooting handgun I've ever fired. The bobtail really adds a lot to the handling if you ask me.

I have considered bobbing my RailGun on several occasions. I think if I sink one more dime in that money pit, I will lose my mind. The Commander on the other hand... |

Bobtails are comfy to shoot and great for carry.

I never really liked bobtails before. But, there was a Dan Wesson VBOB I kept looking at in my local shop. I kept picking it up. The checkering is a little sharper on the VBOB than on other bobtails I have held. And, the thin grips feel better. I fell in love with it and just got one this past weekend... I could have gotten an Ed Brown bobtail, but I liked the DW more...

The first Bobtail I handled was a 5" 1911. I thought it sucked. I did not like the feel, balance, and it pointed way too low.
Then I fondled a 4" one a couple of weeks later. That one was way better, still not perfect. The POINT; handguns are very personal and some people won't like what other rave about. Get your hands on one (like at a gun show or LGS) before you take a plunge like bobbing the frame on your favorite M1911. Better yet rent one borrow one and shoot it. |

I prefer the way an arched MSH fits my hand and I swap out the flat MSH on all my 1911s.
Weird that the Carry Nightmare I bought fits my hand SO great, right? Still, it's my primary carry pistol along with my S&W 1076 and XDs. There's something about that rounded grip on the Sig Nightmare that just works for me.

This, and the frame is much more rounded than what I see on a typical "bob-tail" from Dan Wesson or Wilson. I own a Fastback Carry and I like it a lot. It carries every bit as well (maybe even better) than my Officers Model did. |
