    Default Traded from the GI-45 Champion to the 1911 A-1 Range Officer

    The GI-45 was reliable as hell, but the sights were just too difficult for me to get used to. That, and I discovered I need the beaver-tail. I've gotten bitten consistenly. Maybe my grip, but it seemed impossible to avoid. So, this is it's replacement:

    Considering these are supposed to be made to the same standard as the Trophy Match and TRP, it should be awesome.
