Looking to possibly sell my 1911 to get an M&P9c for carry. I can carry the 1911 fine, but the size and weight are kinda annoying me. Some days I am sitting all day, but other days I am up and about, and that's when it gets to be annoying. Some days I have to bend or crouch allot, and appendix-carrying a 5" 1911 doesn't work well.
As of right now, it's not official if I will sell my 1911, but obviously for the right price I will.
Some of you have seen it on here before, but for those of you who haven't, here's the run-down.

I to go with it, I have all the original stuff from the factory, (box, manual, 2-mags & plastic holsters), 3 Tripp Cobra II 8-round mags, and a Versa-Max II. Also, all parts that were replaced, I kept the factory stuff, so all that would come with it.
There is a little holster wear on the slide, but nothing major, and the holster has a couple of slight marks from normal use, but is still 100% fully functional. The gun shoots great with no issues.
I do love the 1911 platform, and I still have my Delta Elite to shoot when I want to shoot a 1911. Right now, I cant afford to buy the M&P9c without selling something. Since this gun was build specifically for carry, I thought it made sense to sell this to fund the M&P9c. Plus the fact that selling this should yield enough money to buy the gun, holster, and a couple mags. I already have a 9mm gun, so ammo is no concern as of right now.
Here's a pic of the gun before I started to carry it.
