I have gotten it out to the range a few times and man does it shoot nice. I am not a 1911 guy, I shoot mostly Glocks, but damn this is nice.

I really want to find a safariland holster for it so I can mount it on my battle belt when I go to the range. It has a x300 surefire on it which makes finding one much harder. |

I got one of these for mine when I carry with my surefire. Excellent quality and a little cheaper.

I wouldn't sell mine, but I agree with this, particularly if it's a CCS model or a USMC decom, both of which usually command a hefty premium. Use GB. |

The marine was over 2k and the combat unit $1600 what's the difference in these? Both black and they looked the same besides mags, grip, and cool box. |
