I have and still do carry a 1911.

I've started carrying one around the house and property.
It's my first 1911 and until I'm more familiar with the new pistol the SP101 will remain my main carry.

Count me in, i cycle the sp101 too

I'm assuming it must have been an enhanced hammer/swept beaver-tail (where no space is between them, trapping fabric) like so:
Vs the stock grip safety and spur hammer like this (where there's too much room for fabric to get stuck)?
I've never heard of anything like that...but then I haven't been around long enough to see it all.
Yet.

Yep, my usual carry is a New Agent in .45 (3" barrel) in a CTAC. Sometimes I carry a Mil-spec (5" barrel) in an MTAC. On rare occasion I carry my SP101 in a cheapo Fobus holster. I'm sensing a theme here.

My EDC rotation includes a 3" 1911 in a MTAC. Occasionally, I carry my 5" 1911 in a DM Bullard Bodyguard.
Amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong..
Yep... there's a 1911 in the carry rotation, along with a .38 snub and a Kahr CW9.
Haven't had a reliability problem with any of the 3 1911s... no need to tinker with 'em... they haven't worn my patience thin. The TRP gets used about 120 rounds a week in club matches, haven't done more than wipe it down and give it a little lube in 4-5 months now.

I carry one every day, have for two years.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

Stainless Officer's 1911 is my go-to concealed carry piece for the last 25 years. Best ergonomics for me of anything I have shot, never a malfunction except bad ammo. I sometimes have to forego the 1911 if I need to deep conceal. Full-size 1911 when I'm doing chores at the ranch.

My Kimber Ultra Covert II is my edc 1911.
We should not forget that the spark which ignited the American Revolution was caused by the British attempt to confiscate the firearms of the colonists. -

That's what's great about the 1911. I've never possessed a 1911 that didn't run reliably, or that required time and patience to keep it running reliably, and that's after running a substantial pile of .45 ammo through the ones I own and have owned over 34 years time.
