I am about to buy my first 1911. What do you carry your 1911 in.
Ok, sure this is a very personnal quest. So some more info from me might help me help you suggest some options.
I live in Florida. I am 6ft, 220 lbs. Spare tire is present. I am not a suit and I dress business casual at work. I currently carry one of a few special choices:
1) HK USP .45 full in M/D Ent. YCS, strong side(R),IWB, w/ a mag in each pocket.
2) HK USP 9mm compact in a Milt Sparks VM II,IWB, strong side mag in each pocket
3) SW 640-1 .357 in a Milt Sparks SS, strong side, IWB, or ankle rig, speed strip in each pocket
4) SW 696 .44 SPL, in a Wild Bills NBS, high ride, strong side, OWB. Still looking for speed strips for .44.
So I have tried a few different types and makers. I like them all when they fit what I wear on the particular situation. But this would be my first 1911. I have not tried small of the back or those shoulder rigs. So I am asking for some guidance here.
