Read this, before you buy a 1911

[Bowhunter57]

Larry Vickers has been there and done that, when it comes to the 1911 pistol. The strong "romantic" appeal of a 1911 is hard to resist, unless you're it's your CCW. After reading this article, I'll choose another style of pistol, in 45acp.

What are your experiences with the 1911?

Thank you, Bowhunter57

I own one. Won't be a carry piece, but hopefully it is not a "safe queen" it's whole life.:smiley_crocodile:

The 1911 is a proven design until you start getting into the shorter bbl versions then issues pop up more.

1911's are not in my carry rotation. I like the KISS system of pull gun, pull trigger, call 911. Safeties are a hinderence in my mind unless they are truely passive.
