That is the factory finish on the Colt. The dull parts of the finish are bead blasted and the polished parts are not a mirror finish but still very shiny.

Me likey.
What's the closest modern Colt equivalent?
Here's the newest reproduction http://www.m1911.org/prodte29.htm , but if at all possible get yourself an oldie, there is no comparison. I own several 1911s but the old 1918 fits perfectly and the trigger breaks like crystal. Of course the old sights are not the best but you get used to them.

Nice... And a great choice... I have both the SR1911 and SR1911CMD. Ruger really did it right.

I really like the Heine ledge/ straight 8 night sights.
May be worth looking into.

I have night sights on other pistols and have decided that I don't really care for them in a home defense scenario. The glow from the night sights bothers me in the dark. I believe that it tells the bad guy where you are. And if you pass by the bad guy while checking out a dark room, that is a huge disadvantage for you. Just like flashlights attached to the rail, they have the potential to telegraph your position to your foe.
I trained with a flashlight and pistol in LE ... And it was said that bad guys tend to try to shoot out the light when they don't want to be found. If that happens... You must ask yourself... What is directly behind your flashlight? If it is your head or torso... You need to change the way you approach. We were trained to hold the light out and way from the body and only use it in short bursts. And I feel the same about lasers that do not have a touch button type switch so it only illuminates while the switch is pressed.
Be careful with those tacticool lights they can work for AND against you.
