A 1911 was my first centerfire pistol more than 30 years ago. I’ve been shooting them a long time. But strangely by the time I actually started carrying a pistol, I went to other things. I’ve carried small revolvers and various compact and subcompact automatics. Well, lately on a whim I started playing with a full sized Kimber 1911 I hadn’t messed with in a long time. And on a lark I started carrying it.
Holy schit! I find the 1911 to be the best carrying pistol I’ve ever used. Even a full sized one just melts into your body. That ultra thin slide is just made for slipping IWB or even under a belt. It’s really really comfortable. And frankly, I’ve never felt all that good about carrying one in the chamber on a Glock or something like that but with a grip safety and a regular safety I have no concerns with the 1911.
Anyway, it feels weird to just now be realizing this since I have and shot 1911s for so long, but it is what it is. Make fun if you like.
