Good to hear about the Harrts! I´ve seen some commercials about it but never heard any user comments.

Personally I would be satisfied with any of the "Name brand" 45s. BUT I would make sure to "Break it in" with A MINIMUM, MINIMUM of 200 jam free shots before carrying it for defense/work. Also get some GOOD magazines. Many of the "Failure to feed" problems are because of faulty magazines.

I´m thinking about getting a full sized 5" barrel single stack 1911. A really basic / traditional model that is quality made and has some modern improvements. I´m not interested about the 2011 models nor the full blooded racers.

I think that Colt you mentioned would be a very good gun. Novak sights are noted for their durability and quality along with the other parts as well. You might send Sumo and MB a Pm asking their thoughts, as they are more into guns, are more up to date about them than I am.

For about a Year I carried my 5 inch colt single stack 45 as my duty weapon and never had a problem with it. Only reason I switched was I had a Sig P225 (which I LOVE) single stack 9mm and was offered a 45 used and got it and then started carrying it as the "Cocked and locked" carry of the Colt made some folks nervous. And I would not hesitate to carry it (the colt) again.

Well my friend, I've got a serious car wreck going on, two helicopters coming in and my relief will be here any minute. So I'll sign off and hopefully I'll be back on in about an hour or so.

How about NYC shutting down public transit tomorrow at noon. Crazy, it hasn't made landfall yet has it? One of the many reasons I love living far inland and high ground.

Philly is shutting down its transportation system as well, they're not even waiting to see if anything is going to happen. But then everything shuts down for a few inches of snow as well.

Joke:
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 66).
We decided to grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at her.
The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.
When the teenager had had enough, she sarcastically asked: "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; I knew he would have a good one!
In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid ...
"Got stoned once and screwed a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my daughter."
