(29,558 posts)But when I do it's usually a little .38 special 5-shot revolver. The hammer is down on an empty cylinder. I got the web belt and military holster, clip pouches, and even an M7 bayonet to go with my M1911 so that I would have a setup just like I had on guard duty. OK, I didn't take the bayonet on guard duty but I did qualify with it. And it looks cool attached to my Mossberg 591.

I also got the shoulder holster for the M1911, like the ones that pilots and tank crews use. That's the best way to carry this pistol concealed, but even this way the M1911 is big and heavy just like you say.
But what a fine handgun it is! Mine is a century old and still purrs like a kitten. The only problem I have with it is, it's one of the early models that will pinch the shit out of your hand if you're not careful.
Did you know the M1911 is still being used by the US military? Some combat soldiers are finding out that the 9MM just doesn't knock them down for good like the M1911.
