Very true. And I do agree that in terms of ergonomics and esthetics the parallel ruler Colts left something to be desired.But it's more about the importance and significance of the model that is important. Guess POI's posting just caught me at a bad moment.

It arrived today - very definately refinished, but that's not uncommon with these, as the original oil-quenched blue was somewhat delicate. And for a rare gun like this I'm willing to live with it!

It looks like the .45's ugly stepsister.

Older sister or even mother would probably be a closer metaphor.
