Curses on whomever came up with those front cocking serrations!  Ug! :P

Nice gun though.  If I didn't have my 1911 10mm it would be on my drool list for the next few days.

Beauty is in the eye.........? From an aesthetic standpoint I think the front serrations give most 1911s a more balanced look, less long in the front. Although, to me, of no practical use. I seem to be in the minority.... ;D

Yeah.  I know lots of people like the look.  For a while when they first came out I was among them.  As I have gotten older I like the look less and less.

I wish more mfg's would make them optional.  But, to each their own.

I searched for a 1911 for a while just to not have that. The Razorback is perfect and I even like the fixed sights.

That is a darned fine looking firearm.  As for the aestetics of front serations, I also prefer without.  Glad we all don't think exactly alike, or the picture thread would get boring real quick!

Very nice! What is that one?

I also hate guns with billboards. Maybe more so than serations!

Lovely.  Not a fan of the full length dust cover, but other than that they got this one right.  Definitely like the unique slide without ball cuts.

I think that DW looks pretty sweet and I actually think that is a decent price (not a steal).  I'd probably seriously consider snagging it if I didn't have this one - already showed the pic in the "show your gun" thread, but here it is again (unfortunately it DOES have a billboard :().  By the way I really like that Les Baer too!
