All metal. Probably a pleasure to shoot, not so much for daily carry.


I agree. That's why my old HP either lives in my top desk drawer at the office or gets shot for fun at the range. The polymer guns get actual holster time.

My daily carry for the last few months, an all-steel Commander-sized 1911 (Ed Brown Kobra Carry):

With the proper IWB holster and belt, you don't even know you're carrying it. All steel guns in that weight class aren't nearly the problem to carry that many make out.

Over the years, from the early 1980s through the present, I've gone very long periods of carrying all-steel 1911s. Not a problem.

PS They get dusty when carried. I should have applied the compressed air to it before snapping the shot, but I just pulled it out of its holster and plopped it onto the scale.
