Re: 1911 Carry
Well, I picked up a Kimber Crimson Carry Pro yesterday. I'll give a RR soon as I get some time to hit the range.

Re: 1911 Carry
Can some of you post up some pictures of your holsters. I already have the crossbreeds coming but would like to see something else. In particular a nice "Sunday go to Meeting" rig.

Re: 1911 Carry
Went to Winchester Shooting Gallery after lunch today. I put 50 rounds through the Kimber. 
Got a FTF on the second round 
, that was the only malfunction.
I did replace the Kimber mag with 2 Wilson Mags. I am still getting used to just 8 rounds per mag.
There was not a single ragged hole anywhere to be seen and I need more practice.
I believe that the recoil on the Kimber was less than the XD .40 Service. I am a convert, it'll be 1911 from now on. Well maybe a 2011 STI will be in the near future.
I have my eye on the Tactical 5.0
Also put 190 rounds through my Ruger 5.56 for the first time. That was a dream, of course I forgot my sight tool. I was able to get pretty tight grouping at 25yds with BUIS. No issues and when I gave her a bath this afternoon I did not see any signs of the dreaded carrier tilt.

Re: 1911 Carry
Of all the holsters I've used, My Milt Sparks VM2 is by far my favorite. I've run the gamut from one I made myself, to Tucker. Leather, and Kydex. IWB, OWB, Paddle, belt-slide, tuckable, etc. Should I ever pick another pistol for carry, the first thing I'll do is order another VM2 for it.
