Carve that rail off there, it would be lighter, cheaper and nicer looking too.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Sorry, the way I see it, is that nothing on that gun is either sexy or inviting, it looks totally tacticool though. For me, "less is more".

So basically it's a variant of the X-Tac, a marketing gimmick if you will.

I'm with , I'd take a full rail 1911, but 1/2 rails are just ugly.

And , how could you waste good Nutella on that? Now smearing Nutella all over your significant other is another story.

It looks nice, but I am hard pressed to see $3000.00 worth of gun there.

It's the brand and the attention to the finishing details.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a $3K beauty queen that just sits in the safe just to say I have one. Just not that one. Wait, I already do..... the Monolith Nevermind.

Seriously though, if I ever drop $3K again on a custom 1911, it's going to be either another Les Baer Monolith or a Guncrafter Industries GI #2. Or go for broke and drop even more on a Cabot.

I can't stand the looks of a railed 1911 either.
