Back in the mid-1970s, I owned an electroless nickel Combat Commander, and carried it in an Askins Avenger holster. It fired military surplus, Speer ash-tray hollow points, and my semi-wadcutter handloads, and it was very rare that I had a malfunction. I saw one in a local gun shop a few weeks ago, and I started to drool, but it looked well-used and expensive, so I passed. The past year or so, I have considered selling my SIG P239 9mm for a 1911 in the same caliber, although I still find the .45ACP very desirable. One recurring theme on this thread is the trigger on the quality 1911s. There is simply no better trigger than the 70-series Colts that I have personally shot and/or owned. Concealment: Easy. Quick to get into action, especially if you have fired one for years like I did. I always carried in Condition One: cocked, locked, and fully loaded with two spare mags on my other hip. I still regret selling that old pistol. I have been looking lately at Ruger commander-size pistols in .45ACP and 9mm.
