I wouldn’t agree with this. I carry a 1911 every day and its a compact Kimber Ultra Carry II w/ a 3.5” bbl in 45acp. For me a govt model 1911 is to long to conceal well iwb. I know it’s not the same for everyone.
I disagree. People that “actually” carry 1911’s everyday are not carrying government models. That gets old real quick. I’ve tried.
I own a few Gen 2 Glocks. They’re fine but the triggers are nothing special. I’m looking for SAO and the ergos of the 1911 are hard to beat.
This.This is my favorite carry. Paid 1k for it a few years ago, used.

He's well aware of how things work in ma. Once YOU figure out how things actually work you will soon realize you can get just about any handgun you want legally.How am I limiting myself, simply because I don’t an all steel and/or government sized pistol? Do you live in MA? Do you understand how things work here?
You limited yourself to Ruger, S&W, Springfield and a few Sigs. Why? There is no reason to limit yourself. You can BUY any 1911 you want. You can buy ANY pistol you want as long as it is not an assault weapon. So why did you artificially limit yourself?How am I limiting myself, simply because I don’t an all steel and/or government sized pistol? Do you live in MA? Do you understand how things work here?
a few thousandth 's of an inch is all you need sometimes. and it does wear, so it's temporary at best. If you need something thicker you need metal work done and/or made a really bad choice. Always consult a competent gunsmith. What worked for me might not work for you.Wow is cerakote that thick!?
But because the AGs and lawmakers are actually all baboons, their efforts are all for naught for the educated buyer.
It's a beautiful firearm. But I just can't get over the ridiculous warning they insist on putting on the frame. I would want to remove it. Or better yet, change it to something like " Warning: Hot coffee is hot". Maybe, " Warning, bullets come out this end".Smith 1911ES officer frame commander slide.

Lol it's a 1911, if the trigger is all thats f***ed on it, a good smith can easily fix that to your liking.I'm not a fan of Ruger SR1911 triggers. A good Springfield is, well, good, but you have to choose carefully as I find many of them are quite crunchy. S&Ws consistently impress. Or you should be able to find a near-mint SIG within your price range. I have found the SIG triggers consistently light and smooth.
I carried a delta elite, and then a couple colt officers mods, at a different time, and while they were all decent guns eventually i figured out it was stupid, said f*** it and went to glocks and never looked back. Would i carry a 1911 ever again? Maybe, but it's difficult to justify.I disagree. People that “actually” carry 1911’s everyday are not carrying government models. That gets old real quick. I’ve tried.
