heres a pic of my first 1911! it's a kimber tle/rl II with meprolight sights. after carrying a compact glock i'm not sure how well i can carry this gun when/if it proves reliable at the range. picked it up for $600 from a neighbor
It's a Kimber. You'll be able to trust it. Just make yourself comfy with the manual of arms and the fact that it is made to be carried Condition One and you'll love it.
Looks like a good canidate for a rail mounted light and given the duty of HD. Seems to have some extra's that could be a downer for CC, if your usto CCing a compact glock.
There are many here who carry the fullsize everyday, and love it. Defently get your self a quality belt and holster if you decide to CC it.
Jeff,
congrats on the 1911. Sure is a beaut! With the proper holster & belt, you should have no trouble concealing it.
I'm sure Bruce, our resident simian 1911 guru will be along shortly. Oops - looks like Bruce beat me to it!
GREAT PRICE on that rig!! You did VERY WELL!............Wilson mags work really well in that set up..I have a Pro CDP (My Avitar) and it functions flawlessly with em..
yeah, he is being transfered (exiled?) to the DC area and wants to get rid of the few guns he has. heading out to the gun shop for some gold dots then off to the range

But Bruce, it is a 9mm Largo so it's not really a 9mm *grin*.
No, I like the 1911 form. I was a hold out but I got the Star with my C&R and then got hooked on the 1911 type. I then ended up with a Kimber and then the Ballister.
Congrats on your first 1911. You will enjoy it and will prob. get more different types .
Give Sam Andrews a call at Andrews Leather. He'll treat you right and fix you you with a fine holster for the lightrail. I've gotten three from him so far. And he's making a double shoulder rig for my matched set of 1911's.
