Re: How is the .45 1911 Compact/subcompact?

Guess there goes my 1911 since I'm left handed. Well I just read that there is a button on both sides.

You mean the SA Range Officer? No. I do own a SA Loaded model. Nice gun.
I did mean to say SA

As mentioned, some people say that any shortened 1911 will have issues... I agree that a higher percentage might but you can read about plenty of 5" guns that have stopped running as well. There are no guarantees that any particular gun will or won't run, regardless of size, make and model.

Having said that- I am still considering a XDs as a next purchase... the high triggerguard undercut makes it extremely comfortable and also allows me to get the rest of my little finger on the grip. The reviews have been pretty great on them and they are said to be soft shooting for the size and weight. I think the lack of a beavertail will also aide in carry comfort, especially if you carry any extra weight in the mid section.

Not trying to sway you either way, but if I were you, I would look at the XDs as well in your quest to obtain a small .45acp.
I tried the XDs, but each fire was pinching my middle finger and would blister. I did get the Glock 27, because it felt the best. I actually just sold it, because its too much bounce in my big hands. I think I should just stick with a compact or full size. I do have a Glock 19 with upgraded parts and its a flawless gun to me. I won't sell that one for sure. Not just because its my first gun, but its reliable. I like how the M1911A1 looks. I need to go test it out and see how it feels. I did you a 1911 for ,y CHL test and it let great. I had my G19 for the test, but I didn't realize the clips I had we're not 4th gen, so I borrowed my instructors gun.

How is the .45 1911 Compact/subcompact?

Hello everyone, would you recommend a 1911 .45 subcompact? I'm debating on getting a compact or sub .45 1911. I've been looking at the Kimbers. How reliable are they, and does anyone know how a sub .45 1911 compares to a Glock 27?
