and I don't know why other than it is cool.
I've wanted a Full Rail Loaded for awhile, wanted one even worse after my buddy got one years ago. Ended up buying a Full Rail TRP and it was full of meh, I don't like 20lpi checkering, adjustable sights, or bull barrels. My buddy decided to get rid of his full rail, so I bought it. I'll save up and have some things done to it eventually but it's pretty tight for a production gun. Trigger is smooth, but heavier than I am used to out of my Baer's and Valor. Night sights are dead, so a 10-8 rear and Dawson front will be ordered soon.

Nice.
Anxious to see if you change out the grips. I have a Colt identical to this.  Attached FileETA: no rail though. |

Very nice! I don’t like adjustable sights or bull barrels either. Ended up with an original MC Operator that SACS worked on. Nice find

Nice score.
I don't know that I have ever seen a full rail Loaded. Just the Mil-Spec and TRP. That seems to be the best of both worlds. |

Maybe you posted the wrong pic? Your Colt, although beautiful, is a basic 1911; the SA has an upgraded/modern: sights, trigger, thumb safety, grip safety, hammer, flat mainspring housing, front slide stations... |

That’s pretty cool. Never seen one in the wild. I had a full rail operator with the bull barrel and stuff. Made a hell of a soft shooter.
Sold it when my wife got sick I’d prefer like yours so it would be easy to drop a threaded barrel on there |

LOL @ Springfield quality though. I changed out the crappy front night sight to a Dawson FO, and they cut a hole through the slide. Like the cutter was set too deep or something, an actual hole, not the small hall the pin for the sight went into. Won't affect anything other than I filed too much off the Dawson so now there is less slide material for the locktit to hold onto. I'll have to get another Dawson at some point.
Also, the USPS has finally struck me. My Rear sight and trigger were sitting for 3 days in a city an hour away, then they sent it to the post office to a county 35 mins away. Also waiting on some Wilson grips to come in. Now just need to save up for a Stan Chen SI magwell. |

Is the hole for a front sight tenon...i.e. original M1911 front sight? That would make sense if the slide was cut for an original M1911 sight like on their Mil-Spec and other models, and then they cut a dovetail in it.

Doubt it, it's a loaded model so it was cut for the Springfield dovetail from the factory when it was built on the production line. plus if I remember correctly, the hole is not a perfect circle. I should have taken a picture. Again, no big deal. |

Wouldn't be a perfect circle; it'd be a rectangle, lengthwise from front of the gun to back. There might be a little dug out on the underside to fit the mashed tenon as well...I'd bet %100 that's what it's from.

Added a Harrison rear sight, man that was a bitch, and some more aggressive grips. Now just saving up for a magwell.
