Re: For those who carry a 5” 1911
Thank you for the chart Charles.
Surprisingly to me the full size conceals fairly easily due to the slimness. I have a new stiffer gun belt coming just for when I carry the gun. I have some Wilson combat mags coming as well as flat recoil spring and shock buffs. Once all is in I will take to the range and run 500 round nose and about 50-100 hollows points. If all goes well I will call it good. I will most likely be carrying it one to two times a week. Any good suggestion on a mag pouch?

For those who carry a 5” 1911
I plan on carrying my 1911 a few times a month. I have a milt marks VM2 holster and a good gun belt so that’s covered. How do you carry your 1911 full size? I have been trying to get used to it around the house. It’s a huge jump in weight for me considering I carry a lightweight polymer gun or aluminum framed J frame. Most people say they just get used to the weight and it feels right. Also why do you choose the full size over a commander or smaller? I bought a 5” because that’s what a 1911 is supposed to be in my book.
