lightest 1911

[88E30M50]

Kimber Ultra Carry... Any problems with H.P. Ammo?

I've fired Speed Gold Dots, lots of Hornady XTPs and a bunch of others since I've gotten the gun and have not had a single issue with HP bullets in the Ultra Carry.

Here is my EDC.
A Kimber Stainless Aluminum.
Compact grip, 4" conical barrel, no bushing.

And Here is what I dream about...
A real live Colt CCO.
Compact grip with a real 4 1/4" barrel and a barrel bushing.
Like JMB designed it. (moment of silence)

The lightest I would go if I ever planned on shooting it would be any of the brands that sell an aluminum framed model. I love my LW Operator, sure there are lighter ones out there but, they sure are unpleasant to shoot....

Lol..yep..the lightest 1911 in the world means nothing once you start jamming 6-7 rounds of 230gn ammo in it.

Like others said, a quality holster and belt will lessen the felt weight of any pistol. Cheap stuff will make seem like you have a Ruger p90 or a boat anchor, which is the same, on your hip.
