Current EDC: (not a safe queen, it gets shot & carried a LOT! You can tell by the bluing wear on front strap & around the grip.....& this the 'good side', the left has even more wear on it.)

well i'm not a fan of laser grips. in a defensive situation you're most likely gonna have about half second to skin leather and fire a shot. you're not going to have time to look for the little red dot.

however, laser sights are good for practicing trigger control & proper grip at the range.


that being said, i'm a fan of springfield 1911's. :image035:

Well...ok!



Heres my carry piece, day in, day out. Pro Carry II, my first brand new handgun I ever bought and by far the most expensive. I know compared to some guys collections a single lone Kimber isnt all that impressive but I sure love it! I had to wait almost a year to buy my 1911 and only by pure dumb luck did I manage to find one I could afford!

Alex!

So nice to see so many full-size 1911's for carry. I really like some of the set-ups I see here. You guys rock! This is mine, still shopping for a better holster than the plastic belt slide that came in the gear package from Springfield. I'm thinking of a FIST #11. What do you all think of this holster? Its a combination IWB/OWB. Can a holster truly do double-duty?
