I don't like the term and prefer not to use it. The trigger features minimal take up and no over travel, as well as breaking like the proverbial glass rod.

I consider this perfect for a carry 1911. The pistol's trigger breaks at an even and very consistent four pounds. However, like the aforementioned sights it adds neither weight or bulk to the weapon so why not? Like tritium sights, it's merit is often debated in cyberspace. I find I prefer this feature on a carry gun. The rear sight also has the popular ledge feature, used to assist in one-handed manipulation. All in all, very quick and accurate sights that are usable in a variety of situations, an excellent choice. I prefer an uncluttered black rear sight and this rear sight provides this in daylight, as the single vial located below the sight notch doesn't draw the shooter's focus like bars or dots on either side of the notch will. The green tritium vial on the front sight is quickly and easily aligned over the single amber vial in the rear sight. Regardless, this is my first experience with them past the gun shop counter and they've quickly become my favorite sights for use on a carry/duty gun. I believe they aren't actually Heine sights, but rather licensed copies made by Dan Wesson. The sights are of Heine straight eight style. Therefore, I decided to give Dan Wesson 1911's a closer look. However, I was impressed by the overall quality of the build. I bought it primarily for nostalgia, as it reminded me of the pistols I was issued while in servitude to Uncle Sugar. The CZ was pretty much a straight up GI style 1911, which I consider unsuitable for dedicated carry. I had recently picked up a CZ1911A1 and for those unfamiliar, the pistol is actually made by Dan Wesson, of which CZ is the parent company. Consequently, I started the search for a new carry companion. I'm also a firm believer in having more than one example of a chosen carry gun: one for carry, one for training and, if possible, a spare. While the aforementioned pistol has been a very solid performer in the years I've had it, the round count is getting pretty high. In the interim I carried one of the guns I use for training and competition, a lightly modified Springfield Range Officer, in. It also turned out to be the perfect excuse to buy a new gun. I should have known better since I'd been down this particular road more than once, but heck, it meant quite a lot to give it to him and it meant a lot to him to receive it. So sure that I gave my companion of over a decade to my youngest offspring. I'm well aware of the designs quirks and limitations, but I also know that it works better for me, in my personal context, than any other handgun. 45acp is a lightning bolt from the hand of Zeus, whereas the 9mm is a grain of sand fired from a slingshot. I don't think it's the only gun 'real men' carry, or any of that drivel. Unlike many, I'm not dogmatic in my love for John Browning's wonder gun. There was only one problem, I'd given my long serving Colt Government Model to my youngest son on his twenty first birthday. Consequently, I decided to return to the fold, so to speak. Over a two year period I experimented with several designs and while most of them were satisfactory for the most part, none of them worked quite as well for me as God's Gun. About three years ago I decided it was time to start using something more modern than the 1911, which had served as my carry gun for almost twenty five years.
