unless you are a big man, a 1911 is a hard gun for CCW.Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!

Yeah I do, but I do not consider them a true 1911. 5" or go home! :DBuild your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!

I know a bunch of 1911 guys using MiltSparks Versa Max 2 IWB holsters, or similar holsters who aren't having much trouble with CCW. TT GunLeather makes a good alternative to the months of wait for a MiltSpark holster.alexw

^ very very nice. Bone grips? There is a member over on THR who just posted some pics in the 1911 thread of an officer sized 1911, looks like a phillipines make. It has me thinking.
I've been IWB carrying a mid-sized jericho and well, lets just say that if I do get away with nobody noticing, its because its winter and I get to dress accordingly. I am by no means a "big boy". 5'5'' and 128 pounds.
I'm really lookin for something compact to carry, and I think I'd want it in 9mm. I've looked at the P99 compact, a 1911 officer, maybe a CZ PCR, or what I would really like is a P2000sk ( i can dream right?)<---Goodnight, sweet prince

Not sure about the grips, they don't have any labeling on the back if them. I don't think they are bone and they definitely not real ivory. They look like the hogue cheapo plastic, but might be from another manufacturer.
Look at the Colt Defender and Springfield emp (well technically i think the emp is 1911-like). Both compact 1911s available in 9mm that have gotten good reviews in the quality and reliability department. Those of course are just the compact 1911 platform options available.Last edited by myinfernalbmw; 11-22-2010, 09:03 PM.

^ I'd love an EMP, but I don't think I'm quite at the point where I can spend 1k on a pistol. Would it be a good investment? Probably. But at this point in time I don't think I could even scrape together that much. A used cold defender however would be nice, but I don't think I'd care to pay for Colt's name. Anybody ever deal with citadel?<---Goodnight, sweet prince

Absolutely a given. I've shot a walther p99 fullsize in .40. Not sure I like it, but then again I don't care for the .40 round. I was pretty dead-on as far as a feeling of natural pointing with it though.<---Goodnight, sweet prince
