I've been looking at a ton of 1911s... No - I don't want a high dollar one.
The ones I can afford do not have a beavertail safety - with the exception of the Taurus, but I'm reading bad things about the finish wearing out in places without having been available on the market even 2 months.
So - my question is - should I buy one without a beavertail safety, would a $25 shooters glove be a viable solution for hammer bite?
For those of you who don't know what hammer bite is - check out this sight:

My hand looked like his after shooting a Mil Spec 1911... Have a nice scar from it now too - shaped just like the tail end of a hammer!
I don't plan on tweaking the gun - I'm going to keep it as is..
Do you think a shooting glove would be an affordable solution? By the way, it would be a range gun - not a carry gun.
Thanks!
