I came within a fraction of an inch of ordering an X-TAC last week, and I would have, but I wanted stainless steel. Wilson Combat would not do the X-TAC in ss, so I ordered a Nighthawk Custom GRP in ss. I really like the X-TAC, and maybe I'll get one next, or I may go with Volkmann. His work looks really nice and I've read good things about him. Volkmann's 1911, which is #7 in the gallery on his web site just looks fantastic to me.
