I couldn’t agree more. My EDC is a Colt .45 that served someone extremely well in the Pacific in the 1940’s. To this day I know if I should ever need it it’s not going pew pew but boom boom. Just the mere presence of a 1911 is enough to convince someone it’s a bad idea to push their agenda anymore

The ole man carried one thru every island assault they did during WWII in the Pacific.
He carried one always until the day he died. That was 1971.
My Mother used the same 1911 in an event she did in 2003, it was a ride along and qualify with a handgun.
She asked if she could bring her own. She qualified with ammo I made in 1973.
Brother has one, me I went with a P220 after 50 years of 1911s.
And as far as the woman goes, Im going with old & rusted.

@USMC6094 what holster to you use for your stingray? I have the same gun and was considering carrying it during the winter, but need a holster.

This one.....
Comes in a two pack, runs 29.95 retail in my neck of the woods.
I have another Commander length 1911 only holster here somewhere, but can't put hands on it. Though I do remember it's marked with the Ruger emblem.
Thanks

You're going to be in for a hell of a shock the first time you point that gun at somebody and they say Shoot me M----------r! Shoot me!

Is there part of this discussion that's missing? It's like the first poster is responding to an article but there's no link to the article.
