canvasbck- no offense brother, but it I had your Kimber, I'd have it checked out- no way a properly tuned gun stovepipes like that... I've taken 1911's and fired from a sideways grip with only my thumb behind the gun and they still run. Something seems amiss with yours.

Not possible... according to some, you couldn't have shot the qualifier with any 1911, as it wouldn't have shot 50 rounds without crapping out. "rlol"

Didn't want to embarrass the rest of the shooters on the line with a perfect score? Your humility is admirable! :lol: :tiphat:

Not completely... my go to is a 4" STI Guardian... my "minimum" is the little 9mm. IIRC there are a 1/2 dozen or so regulars here that carry a 1911 of some variety. :fire

Re: Curious as to what the instructors/“experts” carry?

I'm not an instructor but most of them I have been taught from, carry a full size (or very close to it) gun OWB... which we all probably would if our place of employment was a gun range!!

I carry every day but unfortunately, sometimes it's only a small 9mm and a spare mag. I'm restricted in part, by dress code of clients and customers.
