Kimber Stainless Ultra TLE II

Full size Springer A1 that has a gojillion rounds throught it and has been modified to suit my likings.

I carried a compact version back in the day, but I like the full size as it is more forgiving of fundamental errors made during firing.

Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II.

3 of them...

1. Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II

2. S&W M&P 45 full-sized

3. Springfield 5" Loaded Parkerized

Most days a Rock Island Armory 1911 Compact. Occasionally an RIA Fullsize Tactical. Crossbreed supertuck. Same holster for both guns. Both are good solid shooters

Kimber crimson pro carry

Lot's of great information. Thanks to all who provided their information on daily 45 carry. I have my work cut out for me to chose the right firearm for my daily carry and you've all been great. Thanks again.

Generally, Mil/Pro pt145, but the RIA Govt. sees it's share.

When I am not carrying a hipower I carry a S&W M&P 45 in a Wilderness Safepacker.

Kimber Eclipse Pro II, carried in a horse-hide SuperTuck Deluxe and Wilson Combat 8-round magazines.

Lucky Dog, you. That gun is so beautiful, I would hate to shoot it.

I just got back from the range and shot 350 rounds through the S&W. My hand hurts and I needed to change out my hard target 3 times. My gun is dirty as hell and only had one fail to extract. I only think it was because I limp wrist a bit. Hey, after that many rounds you get tired :D

Cheers.

Oh it's beautiful and it shoots beautifully too. I replaced the stocks with a Hogue wrap-around grips. I think they look better with the stainless and black pistol than the originals did, and they're a heck of a lot more comfortable to shoot with. I'm still wanting one of the Kimbers from their Custom shop, though.

My current daily carry is a Kimber Ultra CDP II and I added crimson trace grips

I'm 5' 9-ish, and I sometimes carry a full size 1911 (Kimber TLE II).

It's not much of a problem, actually. A smaller 1911 would be a little easier on the "sit-down" but I've carried the 5" everywhere without being tagged, or more uncomfortable than one is supposed to be when carrying.

My other carry is a Glock 26. I carry it when I can't find where I left the holster for the 1911.
