best 1911

COLT officers or commander, Nuff Said!

i agree..its a simple question= simple answer...

 

[HiredHand]

that may be true... but can you tolerate the weight of a loaded full size 1911 on your person all day long?

I carry a Gov't model and don't have any issue with the weight.

Not in my experience. On the short and mildly overweight side of average, I'm unable to conceal a Charles Daly sub compact 1911. A full size would look absurdly obvious.

Do you carry IWB or OWB? I carry IWB with only a tshirt as cover most of the time. People that know I carry can't tell if I'm carrying or not.

bad holster and/or bad placement.

Thats all this could be.

truthfully, not being a smarty pants.

CT Brian, MARS - Steve Morrison build, Springers, Nighthawk, Colt

+1 for the DW Bobbed Commdr for a good price and good shooter.

I'm a small guy... about 5'9", 160 or so... and I CC a full size Nighthawk (1911)... it's not too bad as long as you wear it right.

Very comfortable for me.

Colt CCO w/o FPS I won't go anything smaller.

if the mods see this...enjoy your 24 vacation from OSA. Otherwise, my personal experience with a Kimber, Ultra Raptor II, says stick with a commander size gun, bobbed if you prefer or can afford it.

Why's he in danger of banishment?

And Yes, Colt Commander, or other quality Commander size gets my vote.

Unless you're a very skinny guy a full size 1911 is very easy to conceal.

And if you are?




My ultra cdp ii arrives today, I'm pretty excited. I'm a thin dude, so if this isn't easy for me to conceal then I guess it's Ruger LCP all year round.

Wilson is the only gun you should buy!
