I've been known to carry either one of these on occasion.

I’ve been tinkering with my Colt 1911 Commander and wondered if people have all gone to 9? I used to carry a 9 Glock 19, a S&W 640-1, and a colt commander. Now all I carry is my 9’s (and the 640 when I’m feeling saucy...). I’m feeling nostalgic for my 1911’s...do you carry one? Or is 9 the king now?

Post pics - I need to feed my 45 envy...

I carry it. CA has a 10 round capacity limit, so I may as well go big. I do still use my Glock 19, but I like smaller guns for 9mm.

I have a 1911, and a G20, and a P226 - I don’t carry any of them, but I still like them all.

Mini Range Report on my "new" (to me, anyway) .45 P250 Compact

Another .45 P250 fan here. I have the subcompact but my fave is the full size .45 slide/frame combo. For some reason weight, balance and stability are almost perfect for me when extended and raised to eye level. The sights just seem not to move much, like there is a gyro keeping everything in place. 10+1 and diminished felt recoil are nice also.

I also modified a compact frame to mate with the subcompact slide/barrel, more comfortable grip and 9+1.

Another one added to the stable, I call it the mutt…

Who did the slide cut for you on the P220?

I have to admit I have been carrying my 9 (Shield 2.0 9mm) because the pistol is small, lite, reliable, accurate and convenient. However, I have been considering carrying my alloy frame Commander sized 1911 again. I am not concerned about the capacity, and it is super reliable, accurate, thin, ergonomic to the hand and an overall fantastic fighting gun....Plus I already have an IWB holster for it.

This is me, exactly. In cool weather (heavier clothing) I carry a DW Guardian in .45, when it gets warmer I switch to my Shield 9mm and lighter shirts.
