Hand Fit 1911 vs. Machine Fit 1911 (Worth Changing my EDC?)
The Yankee Marshal compares a machine-fit Sig Sauer STX 1911 to a hand-fit Dan Wesson Specialist, ultimately choosing the latter for his EDC. Key differences include the Specialist's tighter tolerances, crisper 3.2 lb trigger pull (vs. STX's 4.6 lb), and superior ergonomics like larger safeties and a tactical sight ledge. While both are reliable, the hand-fit nature of the Dan Wesson provides a more refined feel and action.
