Re: The 1911, My First Love

I thought I had responded to this before. I love 1911's but I've found the older I get, the heavier I find them. I normally carry a Glock 17 and love the capacity and the weight for what it is. Plus I don't mind beating up on it where as my 1911, I bought it for my dad 25 years ago for his birthday and now it's mine. I've had to refinish it once due to rust from Kimber's poor finish. Now it lives a comfortable life.

For a carry gun, I normally prefer kydex holsters over leather. They are more rigid and for an IWB holster, no issues reholstering normally. But for a gun I would carry at a BBQ, I prefer leather. I have a couple of leather holsters and I've come to like Palmetto Leather Works. Finally quick completion time (last time it was like a month?) and I like their finish options. Might order a fancy one for my dad's Kimber Customer II to show it off.
