Re: Carrying a 5" 1911 is hard

TAM, once again, an excellent analysis of proper holsters, belts, and clothing for successful and concealed carry! Thank you.

I think this should be put in a sticky somewhere, the info is so valuable.

Re: Carrying a 5" 1911 is hard

I could Never get away with carrying a full size 1911 even though I'd love to. The Lord blessed me with a "compact size" and at 5' 8" and weighs soaking wet, 180 lbs., a compact gun, or sub compact gun is what I am most comfortable with and I NEVER have any probs with unintentional exposure of my gun. besides, it's totally comfortable for carry all day, every day.

Now then a guy who is 6' 2" or better and weighs 200 or better could MUCH easier totally conceal a full size 1911, and I say how lucky you are! (except when you try to squeeze into a sub-compact car!) :cool:

Compacts and sub-compacts were developed for people like me. Just saying. ;-)
