  1. Interesting article, Uncle Sam tried to teach me how to shoot a 1911 a LOONNNGGGG time ago and I still like the 1911 pattern and I still have my colt commander , but have been carrying a S.A. range officer compact 9 ( ROC 9 ) for quite some time. but lately, I’ve been looking at the browning 1911 380. I like the size of it, it is still the 1911 pattern, but I don’t know if the frame is alloy alum or plastic and it would be nice if it came in a double stack. Just saying

  2. Great article, I am just a little worried about Kimbers. They have gone up and down with their QC. Sometimes you can get a good one and then bad. I fell in love with the Kimber Solo. It kept calling out to me to take it home, put your hot sweaty hands all over my body! It want me and I wanted it, but then everything I checked about them and having witnessed some owners having problem (they were very finicky with ammo and only were recommended four brands).

    I know what you say about 1911s and .45s. I used to carry an Ed Brown Kobra Carry until it started having problems and I started carrying a Glock 30S which has the double stack 10 round mag and the thin slide. Very similar to a `19. I would also carry one or two Glock 21 mags for reload that hold 13 rounds. I just wonder if you like the 30S?

    I find myself these days carrying the SigSauer P365 with the 15 round reload mag or a 19 with a 17 reload mag.

  3. Back in the day the armorers would occasionally frankenstein 1911s that would get pretty tight. The ones I used were always so sloppy it seemed you could rock the slide 45 degrees.

    Yep, hard to imagine today our soldiers fought and won a war mostly using sidearms that ran on 8 rounds at a time (1911s and M-1s), in semi auto mode only. Now if you don’t have a belly wrapped with 30 round mags, you almost feel naked.

  4. always wondered why anyone would have more than three or four guns. I mean you only have two hands and you can only carry, what, three total? met a guy who said he had 350 guns. I asked him why and he just smirked.
