The wife & I took a Labor Day ride today up to Wichita Falls and had breakfast at a place called Sunrise & Shine Omelette Grill. I highly recommend the place!

Anyway, I carried the GC-Trophy in my shoulder rig (8+1) with 2 spare 8-round mags on the other side. So, 25 rounds of .45 JHP . I don't carry a 1911 regularly because the only holster I have for one is the shoulder rig. I'm hoping to rectify that before the end of the year thanks to Jusme sending me a link to S&S Leather Works. That Colt Competition I got a little while back and I tried a few grips, but ended up liking the OEM blue & black V10 grips. After noticing a couple makers using different colored thread that really accents some holsters I wondered about finding one that uses blue thread that could match the grips. At one of our NT breakfasts Jusme thought he remembered one and found the link and sent it to me. I've e-mailed them a couple of questions and if we can work the details out I might have a new belt, holster, and mag carrier for Christmas. Then I will definitely carry a 1911 more often than my Glock. I'll be shorting myself 21 rounds doing so, but maybe I'll start carrying an extra box on the bike. I already have an extra box of 50 JHP in the truck.

I still don't get to carry anything as much as I'd like since work doesn't allow it and I'm not going to leave it in my truck or the bike that I ride more often than drive the truck.
