Things that go nicely with a 1911
I can feel it, but I’m not afraid to admit it, I’m starting to desire carrying my rack queens again. I started out with the old 45acp gun, but switched to a 38 Special and stuck with Sigs for over a decade. I’m a Sig Sauer guy, but I’ve been wanting to carrying Glocks and try to adjust to them for a few months now. I believe I am comfortable with the Glock firearms I am carrying, but I’m still not won over to them. I’ve seen that Glocks are far more reliable than many of the Semi-autos I own under some conditions, but most of those would be either neglect or extreme circumstances. I am not looking to get in gun fights that last for 1000rds with a handgun and I certainly don’t clean my guns every decade to see how reliable they will be. My Glocks are going to be put to the test this year at a few training classes where I have had Sigs fail, but I’m still of the notion that I’d rather have an M4 pistol driven carbine than get too much into a bitch fest over handgun reliability.
My 1911s are always number one in my heart. I like the idea of having 8rds of 45acp because I don’t think handguns should be expect for big gun fights. I’m a strong supporter of having every cop keep an M4 Carbine in the trunk instead of expecting them to carry 100rds or more of 9mm ammo. Galco holsters are outstanding companions to the 1911 because they look so darn good together. The Galco holsters I have used are the Combat Master and the Galco concealable gun holsters. They are belt through holster that are securely mounted on your belt, you will have to get use to the grip angle which is another debate, but it’s another one of those things that is all about preference and adaptation. The reasons for every accessory and holster being designed for a certain mode of deployment.
