Ok here it is, i have been looking through old post and haven't found one quite like this yes there are lots that ask which 1911 but none that compare what i am looking at. I recently acquired my concealed weapons license and i want a pistol that will conceal easy and is a 1911
Here is what i want:
- 1100 dollar Limit
- Commander Length Slide
- Officer Sized Frame
- Must be reliable out of the box
- Must run HP's
- Right at or under 30 oz.
- Ambi Safety
- Night Sights
- Front Strap Checkering
Tall order i know. They only gun that i have found that meets this would be the Kimber CDP II compact. Problems, right at the top of my budget and i am not fond of Kimbers for reliability; as i had a Custom II with external extractor that was a piece of ______. I know they have switched back to internal but i still hear of problems.
Why are there so few manufactures that make a commander length slide with a Officer Sized Frame? To me that is the perfect 1911 for carry. 4" reliability with officer size conceal ability...
