Afternoon, muchachos. Drive-by before the craziness begins again.

Tex, this is for you. You've probably seen it, but just making sure.

I own a 19 and a 17....Interesting video.....I am not a fan of the ergonomics of mine....reminds me of holding a 2x4 but the 19 is great in my SOB holster and I feel ok carrying it provided I don't rack one into the chamber prior to holstering it......

I carry my G22 chambered. I'm a lot.more comfortable with that after seeing this video. The thing isn't gonna go off unless I pull the trigger.

I really like my Glocks....I love my SA1911....Kinda like having an anvil in yer pants but its like shaking hands with an old friend......

When I carry a Glock it has one in the hole but best practice and train oneself NOT to grab and pull it out by the trigger.

That's why I do IDPA - so that I have SO's watching and warning me of any bad habits I might develop.

Been having to work on my reloading technique. Last match the SO was pointing out that I remove my finger from the trigger when dropping the magazine, but I was keeping it curled away instead of indexing on the slide. I'd have never noticed.

Gotta have eyes on you on a regular basis, or stupid can creep in.

Feel the same about my 1943 Colt M1911, and I carried it for several years. But the Glock is so damned light.

As demonstrated by the size of my fleet I luv Glocks but wish the hell they would put a positive safety on them, probaly never going to happen though.

Yeah, totally agree...The local ranges here will not allow you to draw and fire.  I am ok with that because you never know what the guy next to you at the range would do....That said, I have trained myself to not put my finger inside the guard until I intend to fire....

They do make them a bit lighter than that now

Fortunately, that's something that can be practiced at home with a cleared gun. Though I still advocate finding a local IDPA club and joining. It's a mind-blower how much I've learned doing that.

I am with you on the range fire, too many first time buyers out there.  Just use a blue gun at home to practice safe removal and repetitive pointing.

Yeah, but instead of spending $1500 for a light 1911, I spent $600 on a Glock. And I'm gonna spend $600 on another soon. That still leaves $300 for cigars and ammo.

After I've bought the next Glock and an AR, then I'll think about the fancy 1911.

At least, that's what I say today.

[Ateupwithit]

Not to start a major debate but I am curious, what ammo do you guys use as your PD rounds in your 1911?

I bought my Ruger SA1911 for 649.  I know its not a lightweight but I so like that weapon......

Once loved 1911's long ago but I just see them as a nice piece of nostalgia with a great history now.   I have an FNX for when I want a big heavy .45 with a hammer and it is one hell of a shoot'n machine.

Hornady FTX 185 grain.

One of the best buys out there for a reliable 1911 .45.   I shot a 9mm Browning 1911 recently and while I am mostly not a big 9mm fan it was pretty neat.  That said I do carry a 9mm quite a bit for the size and recoil.

Hornady FTX 185 grain.

I have the Hornady CD as well as the Hydra Shok.....I like the notion of a 230 grain round....I have not done the math to figure out which imparts the most kinetic energy to the target but that may represent my anal engineer side coming into play where it really shouldn't....
