Birch,
I have the full DE full size and its darn good shooter. The double action trigger pull is long, not real heavy and easy enough to control. Single action is real nice, better than some other 1911's I have.
The top end is pretty much 1911 while the lower is a new host of parts and pieces. Not much can be done to the lower as no after market or modification replacement parts are available for the DE. Colt introduced this, so I have been told, to make a run at the military handgun trials. I really dont know about that part.
The biggest problem most folks have with the DE is the sheer size or it. Even in the Commander and Officers version its still a darn big gun.
Mine shoots great, doesent get much work other than to show, lots of folks never heard of the Double Eagle.
