Pump yo brakes, kid. If someone can carry it comfortably, why not let them? Have you ever shot a proper 1911? They have really good triggers. Like, really good.

And stop being poor.

Nothing gets close to a good 1911 trigger other than a S&W revolver in single action, and that's not going to be used in a fight, so no. There's literally nothing out there that can touch it. The triggers are really that good.

You'd know that if you had shot one, though.

>>34023769
The grip is slim so thats a big factor, fat slides print. Gun length doesn't bother too much and if a subcompact carries the same rounds why wouldn't I carry the gun with the better trigget that I can shoot better and points naturally. Extraags are slim as fuck too.

Your reasoning is stupid did you really bring up an fnx, goddamn you went full retard that would be about the worst option for concealed carry other than a gun that fails as much as a chauchat.

I've legit carried OP's pic related. Felt good. 8-round mags are more common than 7-round mags from what I hear but I actively seek out 7-rounders because I'm a traditionalist. 7+1 is just fine. An extra mag or two in each butt pocket. Springfield Armoury M1911A1 Mil Spec with a stainless steel finish. It ain't light, but it's damn thin, easy to CC, and it's diehard reliable. Well over 1000 rounds without a hitch.

Wew, we sure do need at least 16 rounds, considering most instances of people using firearms in self-defence, which already is a VERY low margin of gun-owners, typically ends up with around 1-3 shots fired.

I look forward to the 2050s, and laughing at our grandchildren as they claim that leaving the house with less than 40 rounds in their pistol is just ASKING to get killed.

After all, there's no such thing as reloading.

...for self-defense. Yeah, no, you're retarded. Anon, all of those guns are great self defense choices. Half of the appeal of the 1911 is that you can cave in a person's skull with it if you SOMEHOW managed to miss every shot.

Also
>7 shots

Yeah right. Mine holds 12.

>>34023769
Don't mind 2 pounds.
Feels good when shooting.
She doesn't like being cold, so I keep her warm with my body.
She has seven rounds, but I also have backup mags.

What's the problem here? To reload in a gunfight is rare, and to do it twice is also rare, so why not cary three backups and a couple tourniqits. Now no one knows it isn't a wallet in your back pocket... Also you DO know 1911's are available in sizes other than government profile, right? Like commander and undercover profile ARE a thing.

>>34027280
If a pistol gets damaged by using the slide release, chances are that it's a pistol of poor design or manufacture.

Whatever you're most comfortable with.

If you want to be a super duper tactical operator that operates operationally then you'll rack the slide with your hand so that that manual of arms you learn on your 1911 translates to every single semi automatic handgun design you might pick up off of somebody else.

Same with Deagle. .357 has 9+1 capacity
Shotguns are more powerful and versitile, mini shells and magazine systems exist to increase capacity

Okay, but why does it matter if it has been "outdated" or not? Even a rock is still better than nothing in a self-defense situation. Further still, there are many, many people who have had no problem defending themselves with the 1911 and its powerful .45 ACP cartridge. It is a tried-and-tested handgun, not overly inconvenient to carry around as a result of being too ancient (unlike something that were to shoot, say, blackpowder,) has a huge aftermarket, feels better in larger hands because of its size and heft, and produces almost no recoil with proper modding. A very respectable choice. People who say otherwise are the same types that just have to buy the next flavor of Starbucks frappuchino as soon as it comes out.

>>34023787
bwehwhawhahahahahah what a fucking retard. There are a lot of better options to carry, but to say that 90% of todays autos have as good of a trigger as a 1911 is just fucking ignorant.

8 shots. Most commercial models take 8 shot mags. Statistically, you're expecting 1-3 assailants, and if you can't exterminate 3 crackheads with 8 .45 auto rounds, you're too poor of a shot and 15 rounds would do you no better.

"This hi-point was assembled using the same screwdriver used to put together a Benelli M4, so it's really good"

>>34028118

Springfield just did some really shady deals that fucked over gun owners in Illinois pretty bad, all to line their own pockets.

>>34028118
Their guns are labeled as "made in America," but that's just because the legal requirements to claim that your product is "made in America" are absurdly lax. To be specific, 51% of your product has to be made or assembled in America. So, for example, you could have the frame and slide of the gun cast/forged in Brazil, have the Brazilian cast frame and forged slide shipped to the states, and then finish + assemble the gun with American-made small parts and springs.

Doing this is enough to be able to legally call your gun American-made despite the fact that its most important parts were not, and it is what Springfield actually does. The frames and slides of their 1911s are made by sketchy 3rd world foundries, but they abuse legal loopholes to deceive dumb fudds into thinking that they are buying a gun that was made in Illinois.

For comparison, consider Colt. For how low modern Colt has fallen since its glory days, even they do not do something like this.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to get shot by one round of .45 ACP out of a billion dollar gun the size of a minivan.

>>34023769
>So, anons who carry 1911s, what the fuck are you doing? explain yourselves

Three points.

First point. The standard capacity of a 1911 magazine is 8 rounds, not 7.

Second point. Carry a Commander, it's smaller.

Third point. It's big, heavy, and reliable these days. I like it. Also the MSRP on 1911s expands as low as 350 dollars to as high as 10,000 dollars. The 1911 is not a singular gun. It is a TYPE of gun, with loads of manufacturers and loads of styles.

It's like saying "Why are you buying an AR15 the 6920s cost nearly one thousand dollars!"

But noone's reading this thread. OP is gone. I just like 1911s.

You won't be taking your chances. RIAs are good guns.

Pretty sure ones carry is going to be down to preference, and slinging shit back and forth isn't going to advance this discussion much. In original form a 1911 does have low capacity compared to a modern full size double stack. But they make double stack 1911s if your that worried about capacity and pretty sure you can get polymer frame 1911s as well.

The 1911 is and always will be my first love. From when I first started shooting to now they are my favorite handgun in existence. I've had multiple and will always own atleast one. However my carry piece is my Beretta 92fs. Why? The Beretta is just better in every aspect. Size, weight, capacity, and reliability. The army adopted a high capacity 9mm for reason. The FBI is even going back to 9mm. The 1911 will always be my favorite though, but it's not the end all be all of firearms design.

Holy shit. I own all types of guns and I carry a compact glock but LOL you're such a poor fag if you think the trigger pull of some wonder nine is comparable to a 1911 or finely tuned revolver

>>34029780
There 1911s in 9mm
There is also a new design coming out from Wilson Combat called the EDC X9, that is the size of a Glock 19, holds 15 rounds, is all metal, has an external extractor, ramped barrel, and a 1911 single action trigger.
It's a little beyond expensive (2800 dollars) but it delivers 1911 performance in a double stack gun that is smaller, simpler, and more reliable than a 1911.

So just because you want to go 9mm high capacity doesn't mean you have to move away from the "1911"

>>34032668
So it's a hi power?

>>34032705
Without the hi power's normally bad hinged trigger as it's literally a 1911 firing system and trigger and is put together by craftsmen rather than a bunch of rejected Spaniards in Portugal.

If you think that's a ripoff Nighthawk has 3,000 dollar hi powers that have been refinished and have wood grips put on them.

>>34023769
>explain yourselves

I carry a full size 1911 because it's fairly easy to conceal, I can shoot it fast and accurately from point blank to at least 50 meters, and because I ran one for single stack in USPSA and know it's reliable with CMC 8 rounders, giving me 8 + 1 rounds of 230 grain goodness to dump into any threat to my life or limb.

The gun to carry concealed is the one your willing to carry, first, and the one you can be effective with, second.
