I don't know, I kind of like the "fish scale" slide.

Taurus has one in their 2011 catalog also. 2 actually... a "retro" one with engraving (probably stamped/laser) and a tarted-up "anniversary match" one that looks like their PT1911s.

The retro one says "custom forged ordnance grade steel frame"... the other says "strong ordnance grade steel frame"

I love these guns so much. Is there a better looking semi-pistol?? Nice thread.

I wonder WHY Springfield Armory decided not to jump on the bandwagon?

I thought about making this question it's own thread with a poll but since all the picsare in this one let's just write in our votes here.

WHICH ONE DO YOU GUYS THINK LOOKS THE BEST?

I am going to say (based just on aesthetics) the Kimber.

Its a tie as to the best looking for me

I'm more partial to the Browning with its engraving & gold inlays, but that engraved Ed Brown is much more my style. Elegantly engraved with a humble blue finish.
