Anything else is crap:
More info?
Gemini Customs. Would take 2 pages to put all of the specs. Even has a fluted barrel----lots of info on the web about the builder who is the President of the APG. Marc does nice work but has given up on the .45 and full bown customs because of the time involved. That is a shame because he is good...

Nice BBQ gun...but does it blend?
Right now my Sig 1911 rides on my hip at work every day...but that little XDS is creeping up on the popularity list pretty fast as an off duty gun. Great little big-bore pistol.

Yep, Colorado LEO. About to send my slide and small parts off to James at XD-HS2000 to have him GunKote it in either FDE or Titanium Grey and add some night sights (probably Truglo TFO's).

My 1911 was modified for a police officer and I really dig the night sights.... I know that the rear sights can get the night sight dots on it, but I am not sure what you can do with the fiberoptic front sight... in the dark you cant see anything but in the light its a bright little thing

It's not a matter of just adding the night sight inserts into the factory sights, you take the front/rear sights completely off and replace it with different sights altogether that have the tritium vials built in.

oh joy.... I know that the 1911 was taken to a gun smith for modification, I suppose I know what else they replaced. I know they changed out the barrel when he took it in, not sure why though.

Why not? What makes it not a good carry?

It is a lot of gun and I don't mean the cartridge. It would be very difficult to conceal under normal clothing. That is the same reason I don't carry my GP 100.

hehe I think it just depends on how you dress.... I always have a trench coat on... so for me I can hide a lot of equipment... I have been known to wear my coat in 120 weather

Some older women might even be happy to see "Dirty Harry".
And a trench coat in 120 degree weather sounds like your out to flash Dirty Harry.
