Steelheart ---
It's the new Specal Forces full size 1911, black coated with a varyation of the ball cut treatment on the front strap and MSH, I have a Kobra Carry as well, I like both the Brown guns a whole lot though the Kobra was flawless, the SF as it's a new model had a few hitches --- 3/4 grip busings came loose, and the FP it came with was broken off short --- pretty sure it was becuse the gun was on display at the Shot Show as the break looked deliberate -- and the gun has a low serial number relative to the one on their website.
The coating is OK but just that a coating, Brown seems to think it more rugged than others but it's looking about the same on my gun in mechaincal wear areas, maybe it will hold up better to holser wear?
All the same minus the hicups it's a great gun and I'd put it against those costing the same or more.
The Brown line does not have quite the variety of some of the other makers but what is there works great and is more than enough for my needs, in fact I kind of like the fact that the man and the company subscribes to the KISS principle and has a minimum of ad hype assoicated with them, there are at liest 2 other semi-custom 1911 makers I can think of that I would have a hard time transacting busness with just becuse there is so much hype to them and their product.
As to seeing the target, I find it's not so much a matter of seeing as having something definitive to referance to --- so I started putting a small square of white duct tape in the middle of the black target -- to provide a center referance to aim for otherwise the x is too small to see and you end up waving all over the place when you take aim.
