2. I love carrying my 1911's and equiv's... Kimber TLEII/RLII, Custom II, Ruger P345. Most of all I want to try out my BUL M5 Ultra X Compact... bringing it for service next week and with tweaking it should be right as rain and it comes highly recommended. Anyway, the reason I like my 1911's is that they feel safe. SAFE. With one in the chamber, locked and cocked. Why? They have a SAFETY! What a novel idea. AND... the have a GRIP SAFETY! What a great invention. I don't know if everyone is carrying their Glocks with one in the chamber... but in order to get one into the chamber you have to cock the Glock. And there's no way to lock the Glock.

Top of my list for upgrades to my Glocks would be some kind of grip safety; so that, when my trigger gets caught in the branches or underbrush during a chase the gun doesn't go bang in the night.

I love Glock reliability, and I love the weight. But the safety? Wish I had the real statistics on how many have shot themselves in the foot accidentally.

Comments?

Be safe and carry whatever you are comfortable with. Any gun in hand is better than one left at home!

depends on my mood and the way my shirt fits. If it's a baggy shirt i carry either a G23 owb, or Sig 226 in 40 IWB, or G19 owb. if the shirt is a little tighter i carry a M&P 9C IWB or OWB depends on my mood.

I used to carry a 1911 but I have since bought a springfield armories XD45, and with the literally hundreds of guns that I have shot that XD is by far the nicest, and its so comfortable to wear, and its 14 shots of .45 ! dont need to carry the second clip.

Everyday carry is a Rohrbaugh R9 (9mm), Gerber folder, keys and a phone/camera/mp3

depending on clothing... my Kahr CW9

nights, untucked shirt offers many more options, usually a mid/full size pistol with 12-15 rounds
