Springfield GI series PW9151LP (basic no frills 5" 1911) in a Crossbreed Super Tuck Deluxe. It's actually comfortable to carry, I do not even notice it being there. I also carry two spare magazines with me. I normally wear cargo shorts so I drop the extra mags in my pockets. Not the preferred way to carry spare mags, but at least I have them if needed. I bought a basic 1911 since it was cheap and so I can play with it and make the few mods I might want. Most stuff that comes on the 1911's are not needed anyway. At 8 yards and good carry ammo if I do my part I can place all my rounds within 7/8", that's all I need in a carry gun. Of course, when funds allow I will upgrade to a nicer 1911, but I probably will not carry it daily. I do not worry about this cheap 1911 being stolen when I have to leave it in my truck while I'm at work. I also do not have to worry about it getting some scratches and wear marks from daily carry.
