[Drewsta84]

Hello All,

So my turn around time was fast compared to others I suppose Nov. 19 Packet Mailed Dec,21 License in hand So I did my first wally walk this afternoon felt good but awkward like most people say. I felt like the world was watching me but after a bit became more comfortable. So anywho I just wanted to pop in and say hi and i'll be here for the long haul! Attached is a picture of my current carry. After Christmas is over I will be in search of a 3" compact either 1911 or XDS well have a great evening all!

Excellent work!
Wally Walk!
Yeah. I did a different version
thereof, consisting of wearing my all black 2 piece jogging suit under cover of darkness to 'see the Christmas lights' at the local river walk. Darn proud for my first time. At first I carried unloaded just to feel the weight in my pocket and after a bit felt a little more confident. I too felt stared at! I found myself looking in people's eyes to see where theirs were! At first it felt super obvious and I imagine with more practice I'll get over it. Thank you for your post!

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

I know I'll get some gruff from all the loyal 1911 fans on the board, but I vote for the XDs. It's replace my single stack 9mms in my carry rotation. A bit rough in the hand to shoot a huge number of rounds in one session at the range, but I would think such short 1911s would also be more snappy than their longer cousins.

Congrats. Be safe and enjoy the right to protect yourself.

That's a fine Christmas present from the state. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks all! I have been heavily considering the XDs but I really love the 1911 platform and am very comfortable with the operation of the weapon as well. I was thinking the Kimber Ultra Carry II would be my EDC. So if anyone wants to contribute to the cause let me know haha great advice on here thank you! Everyone have a Merry Christmas!!

My Ultra Carry II is my EDC and I love it. Kimbers are worth every penny! Throw on an Wilson Combat extended slide release and one of their magazines and they are a dream to operate and shoot.
