A couple thoughts here.. anyone who doesn’t want a rail on their Carry 1911 because they don’t want anything complicated....why are you carrying a 1911, it’s about the most complicated platform out there.. don’t get me wrong I like 1911’s just that argument baffles me..lol... next I prefer a light on my carry handgun. I have one on my duty gun and after trying for about 30 years to figure out how to efficiently use a handheld light and shoot, I find it awkward. Either the light or the gun is not pointed where I want them. I also like to have my off hand free for other things, defensive moves, making sure my son or wife are out of the way, ushering them where I need them..whatever, I just like having a free hand ...if nothing else I personally am a helluva lot more accurate shooting with both hands. Everyone is entitled to their preferences and if it works for you that’s great, just my .02 cents. So I prefer rails on my pistols
