StraightUp_OG Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) My EDC is a Bobtail Commander hybrid ported sight tracker! It is easy to carry and I went steel framed because I like to shoot'em like I stole'em! Edited February 4, 2014 by StraightUp_OG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrconst Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just picked up an STI 9mm 5" 1911 to start carrying. Going to be a little different than the xds 45 I carry now but change is good. Question: was sights are people running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I EDC a full size 1911 and the most important thing you should do is find a holster that works for you. Not the easiest thing to do. I use a Wilson Low Profile that I modified by adding Tuckable clips to. When I installed the clips I decided to raise the holster and add a bunch of forward cant to it. This allows me to sit fairly comfortably, including drive a car. Sitting down is the true test for an EDC holster in my book The clips converted the holster to a tuckable IWB which is pretty much mandatory for carry while only wearing a tshirt which I do frequently. It is placed on my belt so the slide is just behind my hip bone. As for the guy who said it has to be a 5", not true at all. Commander size 1911's have more than proven themselves. I even fired a buddy's officer size frame that had a 4" slide that was an absolute tack driver. Just be sure to practice with what you carry because if the crap hits the fan you will do your best with what you are most familiar with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrconst Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Dropped off the 9mm 1911 at Accurate Iron for a new tritium front sight and lower profile rear. Black on black was hard to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oak hill Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Dropped off the 9mm 1911 at Accurate Iron for a new tritium front sight and lower profile rear. Black on black was hard to pick up. I expect you will change your profile picture when you get it back, eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I like metal but I think the Glock 19 is pretty much as close to perfection as there is for this purpose and I would choose it every time over a 1911 I also am a big fan of the PPQ trigger If someone were to combine the best aspects of both that would be the perfect gun PPQ ergonomics and trigger Glock 19 size, magazines, and easy to find parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've not heard of anything other than the military pistol trials for recent tests (and they chose the Beretta and SIG), but the 1911, as I recall, made it's reputation in mud during WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Those should have been conditions far beyond anything we would see in a self defense situation. If you are grappling with an adversary, it doesn't sound much like a gunfight anymore ...

Blaise1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just my .02 but a mudded up incapacitated 1911 makes a better hammer than some piece of Tupperware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRJ1911 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I carry a 1911 of some sorts everyday. I have all sizes and weights so I just carry what I feel like on that day. I sometimes carry a VIP but most times it is a LW Commander. Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimcrew Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My Les Baer CCO is my favorite EDC. It conceals very well, and is comfortable to carry in a SuperTuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Z Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What do you guys think of the SA EMP 9mm? I have an EMP in .40 as a carry gun and it's great. Same controls and great trigger as a 1911 in a very shootable package, short and concealable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
