Is that their version of the 1911. My next purchase will be a version of the John Browning design. I will be the third generation to carry that weapon. Many men in my family carried it as officers and I want one.

It is. I think it differs in that it has a more advanced safety and comes with a double stack magazine.Evidently a fine weapon which won a bunch of awards.

That said,I understand that you probably should have larger hands if you're going to use it effectively. Very wide grip.
