Hey Heathen, I have carried that very same Springfield Micro 1911 for 4 yrs now, every day, most all day, and it has never given my anything but a nice, warm, safe and sound feeling. I have had cop buddies cringe and scoff at my little 1911, but then again, these guy's are LEO's and they still spend half the time at the range that I do. Train with it.... Become very confident and comfortable with it. Keep your head on stright, be careful and respect it, and hopefully you will never have a problem. One little note of advise, if that springfield of yours has the extended ambi safety on it, make sure to keep an eye on it if your carring it in a thumb break holster, the strap on mine has wiggled my safety off before... and all else aside, that one does make me a little nervous!
