And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Not in the market for a pistol, but this could change my mind. Anyone know the brand?
Heavy compared to the Fantastic Plastic guns, wider than expected grip (looks slimmer than wht it is, but it is workable) REALLY nice single action trigger.
The **only** reason I don't own one is the lack of a grip safety. That is IMO a FAIL in design.
Grew to Pistol Adulthood Proper carrying an old-school Colt 1911A1. One gets used to the manual of arms for a single action carried Cocked & Locked quite quickly. I still find myself trying to "snick off" the safety on my Gen 3 Glock 27. It used to throw off my first shot accuracy but not so much the first wasn't in the brisket. I found the slightly different grip angle more of a pain to train for. Sum it up? Any gun in a gun fight but try not to get into a gun fight at all. TRY ANYTHING TO NOT...
"An elegant weapon for a more civilized age." Updated design and next on my list. Doesn't have oxymoronic "trigger safety" or occasionally problematic grip safety originally for horse cavalry.
The Spanish Star BM model is externally a near-clone of the Commander 1911 without the grip safety. They are excellent at the range and run like the steel machine they are. I should've bought more when they were cheap.
As I stated here on another thread (the derringers), I prefer the Springfield XDs in .45ACP. Grip safety, lightweight, single stack and very narrow profile, and disappears under a shirt on the waistband.
