Average Weight for 1911 Owners

[Mark King]

5'9" and 170.. No prooblem with concealment of a full size 1911.. Piece of cake if an oversized polo and a good IWB holster is used. If Son can do it, most anyone can.. Check out his photos in a related post.

Very seldom do I laugh out loud at a thread title.

They grow them big where I'm from. 6'4" 280, not fat, just big boned. If I was a girl, they would say that I had a "sweet spirit".

6'3", 265. I can hide a couple 1911's when necessary, especially if they're like my Kimber compact or Ultra Carry. Full size is very comfortable SOB. FWIW, M2

I'm up to my ideal weight, if I was 11 ft. tall.
I carry a stainless full size Springfeild amd one extra mag in a planner cover. Works great and nobody even looks twice.
