It was purpose built for FO time. It's for war. For when you absolutely, positively need to kill every motherfucker in the room. It's too big to conceal, but when it comes out, shit gets done. It functions 100% reliably, and it hits everything I point it at. There are many like it, but this one is mine!

I have a glock 21sf if that counts. Grwat gun but it just sits in my nightstand anymore. Truth be told I just think midsize/ compact guns are more practical unless you open carry or use it as a duty weapon. If I need to defend myself woth a gun too big to carry it will be a long gun.

I don't get why everybody says you can't conceal carry a full size .45. I prefer to carry a full size gun than one of those dinky little .380s or something. You might actually have to dress around the gun instead of wearing skin tight jeans and shirts, but it can be done, and pretty easily. I carry an M&P 45 or a 1911 fairly regularly. I just feel more comfortable carrying a full size or midsize gun than a subcompact.

I'm just saying it can be done, and that is what I prefer. And I don't wear extra baggy shit, just a button up shirt untucked is enough for me. I know people who feel comfortable only carrying a small .380, it's just not for me. I do own one (Ruger LCP), but I'll typically carry it as a backup to something larger, or if I absolutely can't carry anything else. ETA: I meant to add that I don't care if it is 9mm, .40, or .45, I just prefer larger handguns in general. |

I have a G41 and while it's sweet I can't run it nearly as fast as my G34. Ammunition technology has honestly leveled the playing field between the calibers in effectiveness and putting the .45 at a disadvantage due to it's extra size, weight, and lower magazine capacities.

I don't understand. Full size steel 1911, carried at 3 o'clock, in a Galco Concealable on a good belt. Nothing fancy. Untucked shirt or jacket. Not at all uncomfortable or unpleasant. I don't think anyone has ever noticed. Not a big deal if they do. Spare mag or 2 in a pocket. It's fine for me.

The trigger is not as crisp as my Dan Wesson V-Bob (no kidding, right), but it is just as accurate and 100% reliable so far. I have been shooting mainly 225 grain truncated cone hand loads @ about 900 fps. The gun show and American Eagle ball ammo also functions flawlessly. I have only shot about 50 rounds of 230 grain HydraShocks since it is so expensive, and I had no issues with it either. Overall, I would have to say it is just about perfect as a service pistol. Not bad for $475.
