Also, Pig, I kind of don't use sights anymore. I seem to be just as accurate with the Snake Oil and I don't have to think as much with it.

Thanks, guys.
You will require the beavertail to get your grip as high as possible and not get bit when you shoot.

How did people do it before beavertails? I have four 1911's two with and two without. Personally, I don't see that much of a difference but I'm also not an expert buy any means.

They didn't use high grips or thumbs forward grips

said it all. I have 1911's with GI style "mini-beavers". I have filed the edges so they do not cut the web of my hand. Eventually I will change them all out, the GI style is not good for high round count practice, nor would I want to get bit during a SD situation. It is the old style, just no longer practical.
