i always like the classic look of the 1911. i really do not like the "tactile look" of a classic, but that Emissary (with the picatinny rail) caught my eye, and i said screw it, why not?

I think my next 1911 has to be two tone nice

While two tone and SS are beautiful, my pistols are for outdoors. Most get used in the woods on my hip, and come back full of grit and dust.
Plain ol Blued for my 1911’s.

That’s an outstanding set !

Just remembered, I DO have one two-tone. This started out as an ODI Viking, basically a production version of a Combat Commander with factory Seecamp DA conversion. It never worked very well--the slide was mis-machined in the barrel lug area and the stupid thing would lock up constantly. The DA was nothing to write home about, either--the DA pull was probably about 20 pounds. I gave up trying to make it work and put a Ciener .22LR Commander-length top half on it and let my son cut his handgunning teeth on it when he was a teenager. The SA part of the action still worked fine. Later I just pulled out (and carefully stored away) all the DA parts and put in a standard 1911 trigger taken off a used LW Commander I'd bought. Works just fine as a .22 and it has many, many thousands of happy rounds through it, though I tend to shoot a couple of my other .22 1911s more.

I like them both. I really like the new hard-use coatings that are starting to be used more & more, too.
And while I like two tone, I prefer a stainless frame with a blued slide.

Yes, that is two tone combo is sweet
Is good choice in combo's. Darker colors can help in sighting, absorbs more light instead of reflecting it.

I do sometimes wonder if the stainless slide on my Garrison isn’t messing with my older eyes a bit. Its matte (or whatever it’s called) on the top but def not like the dark slides. Together with the somewhat low white dot front sight.
I’ll get the hang of it - but it may always be a disadvantage, however slight.

Quick question, I always thought of 1911’s as the original military sidearm so wouldn’t that mean tactical? Just my thought.
