Calling 1911 guys

Added to my collection yesterday. I have been searching for a Government model 1911 to add for a while now. Walked into the gun store yesterday to guy some ammo and there it was staring me in the face, my future Colt. I was really looking for a Series 70 or a Springfield Mil-spec but when I held the Series 80 I realized I prefered the flat main spring housing. Not sure if I prefer the trigger yet, will have to wait to take it to the range. I wanted a Government Model and a Colt to add to my collection so I figure I killed two birds with one stone.

I never have any issue with them. Some people do though. I figure its because I have smaller hands. I think you can pretty much tell if you are going to have an issue from holding it.

Is it a large hand issue mostly? I know nothing of this, but keep hearing it discussed on gun reviews.

Just bought the same gun in the summer time. Fine shooting gun. You did well my boy.

As far as I know yes. I could be wrong but I have small hands and have never had the problem. I know guys with large hands that have had it happen.

I probably will not change anything on the Colt. I feel like it should be left the same. Thought maybe about changing the grips but I really like them. I will change the grips on the Springfield though, not crazy about the wrap arounds.
