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.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
