Not that there isn't better carry pistols. But this thing is super smooth shooting and extremely accurate.

I figure, you might as well carry what you shoot well.

Small of the back or appendix carry. Depending on how I'm dressed.
I love 1911s. That being said as great of a genius as John Browning was, a lot of advancements in firearms have happened since he invented it. In fact, the .45 ACP is in many ways an obsolete round. I can't name one advantage to carrying a 1911. It's big, it doesn't have the firing capacity. The rounds barely go fast enough to get any expansion out of them if you're using HP rounds.

The only thing I really like is that it's a single action. But in a CC situation, I'd rather have a double action or a double/single and not have a safety to fumble with. I also don't want everybody around me knowing I have a pistol in my trousers. It kind of defeats the purpose of CC.
