1911 carry gun

I like the springfield range officer compact

Damn if I don't too. That is a nice pistol indeed.

Well, I have actually gotten my hands on two of these this week-a SA compact RO (although this one was a 9mm), and the Sig C3. The Springfield was at the LGS, and it felt pretty good handling wise, though I know the 45 would be ever so slightly different in size I suppose; and figured out that a coworker actually has the Sig C3, so I got to run 20 rounds thru it earlier. It shot great and smooth, and I can get my whole pinky on it with the smaller grips, but there sure aint any extra room...seemed nice and light to carry as well.

Just got a RIA 3.5" for the wife. Nice gun. $570 and free shipping.

I carry a C3 daily, holster by Ryman holsters out of KS. I've really enjoyed the gun so far, only problem is the holster selection can be few. The slide profile on the Sig is a different shape than standard, so not all off-the-shelf holsters will fit correctly. As far as fit and finish go, I love the slide finish on the C3, shows no wear since I've carried, going on 8 months now. The fit is tight, but still very easy to disassemble off the shelf. You won't go wrong with one!

Well, thanks for all the input, finally pulling the trigger on my choice, sending off a check tomorrow for a Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander!

Picked this up on Monday, new Ruger SR1911 CMD Lightweight

Great choice! That would be my pick. I still prefer the 1911 without the firing pin safety. Ruger all the way!

Very nice.

I use both a Dan Wesson ECO in .45 and a DW Guardian in 9mm. The Guardian is a little long but it shoots so nice and with the lightweight frame its like its barely there.

Are most 1911's that folks carry the Commander version or full size? Not open carry, concealed carry....
