Bit of an inside joke only Ifdot will get.I was going out to shop-around for some new readers this morning. Maybe you should tag-along? 2:

BTW just ordered some 2.0s from Amazon prime. Time to move up in power.
I'm Mr. Idiot scratch. My first 1911 was a Colt Combat Elite and shooting it made me love the platform. The only problem is that I'm a knuckle-head and created an idiot scratch. While I loved the platform, I avoided field stripping the gun so I wouldn't make the scratch worse. I ended up selling the gun (because of the scratch), avoiding the 1911 platform for a little while.
Well, I have the fever again. This month I bought a Nighthawk Custom GRP with upgrades (including a nice Permacoat on the frame) and a Colt Special Combat Competition Model in hard chrome. I bought some idiot scratch plastic sheets that supposedly mitigate the risk of creating the mark. Hopefully they work. I am so anal retentive with my guns and cars. I cannot deal with a scratch like that. I pick up the Nighthawk tomorrow and the Colt in a couple of weeks.
The Colt has all black sights, Bomar rear and Heinie front. Does anyone prefer this set up to white dot sights? I've read that they are easy to pick up quickly, instead of fixating on the dots. I may add a fiber optic front sight if I have trouble with the sights.
One more question: If I use a bore snake after each usage and keep it lubed, how many rounds before I need to field strip a 1911? The less I take them down, the less chance of doing something stupid. I wish the 1911 was simple to field strip like my CZ's and striker-fired handguns.
I drove my sports cars like I stole them and tracked them as well, but I maintained the appearance to the extent that a 3 year old M3, 2 year old M3, and a 2 year old ZL1 looked brand new inside and out.
I'm not as anal with my striker guns or my CZ's, just 1911's and revolvers.
Never parked them in a store parking lot? Wife works at Martins and you should see how many door dings she has on her vehicle!
It always seems that when ever I care too much about something, it always gets damaged so, I learned to get over it. Well, maybe not entirely.
A thread like this and no pics

Was the test target in the pictures on GB? Always a good idea to look at the date on the sights if you can see them. But yes, it should have been listed as new old stock. Couldn't hurt to contact the vendor and see what he says. I wouldn't think he intended to mislead.

Scars = Character
I've got my share, and I don't mind if my working guns do either.
