Also agree with TS's point of view. Why pour money into an antique only to make it as good as something that shoots just as well off the shelf?
I also hear great things about the USP.

I guess that there are two types of people. Those that like 1911's and those that don't (I will call you the blasphemers!)

some call it an antique design, I call it classic.

A customized 1911 is a piece of working art. just check out some of the smiths work on WWW.LOUDERTHANWORDS.US especially chuck rogers, ct brian, and stan chen. expensive? VERY. Long wait? Richard Heinie has an 8 year waiting list. Worth it? in the eye of the shooter.

Can your off the shelf guns shoot 1 1/4 inches at 50yards in a rest? I don't know i've never seen that.

for what it's worth I also have 2 Sig p220's, 2 glocks, a walther, XD9, and my two pony's. Next purchase will be an Ed Brown Executive Elite 1911.
