1911 Questions

[lovemachine]

Woke up this morning. I still want a 1911.

It won't change, just get your cash out and buy one.

It is the best way.

I dont have any cash. All my cash is going to buy a baby

I'd have to sell some guns to get a 1911.

I disagree. Buy one today and you'll wake up tomorrow wanting another one. Don't ask me how I know.

That's not a good thing.

Nope, just what I learned from James Yeager

I feel like I have found a new drug... I have not carried a gun with a steel rail like on the MC op. Do you think that will get in the way and poke me when carrying iwb?

I carry both a Government sized (for duty) and a Colt Officer's ACP for off duty. Both put together by Dave Lauck of D&L Sports, and the holsters by Contact!Concealment. Holsters made right here in LaPorte County.

Is the government model you carry a colt too? Which model? Also how many departments do you know of that will let you carry SAO guns like 1911? The reason i ask is I am going to school for Criminal Justice and my dad is retired from Marion county and they were not allowed too. It will help settle our argument (he is a glock head) Also, I dont want to get a carry gun that I won't be able to use when and if I get on at a deparment.

This is the perfect excuse/reason to get another pistol.....

That's a good point But also if I do get on at a department that allows 1911's I will need one with a rail so i can run a surefire gun light for duty and one without a rail for off duty. I'm already thinking like a 1911 guy!

Most departments I know of issue the officers firearms. Very few departments carry 1911 on duty. Many departments will let you carry 1911 off duty so long as you qualify. I say buy what you want.

Almost every day, I think about

I am seriously mulling over taking my new to me MC Operator out to AllenM for some "Pretty" machine work.
Flat top and under cut the slide with some material removed internally to lighten it up.

OP....I do not know where you are located but you would be more than welcome to come out and run a few of mine if you wish.
I promise you will really be upside down addicted if you do.....

Most the departments I know around here issue Glock 22. I was just thinking it would be an advantage for a duty gun to be the same as an off duty gun and very few let you carry a personal gun on duty. But its just an excuse to buy another gun then right?

I may have to take you up on that sometime. I have some family over in Avon so I am over in your neck of the woods on occasion. I don't know if this is your style or not but i think a RMR on a 1911 would be cool! Expensive but cool! Just my
