I carry a 1911 that was never intended to be carried, its a 'Target Model' with big high profile sights etc. I'm most comfortable with target sights not to mention its the most reliable and accurate 1911 I have. I've had no problems with this setup yet and there's always the backup Glock 29 that I carry as well (never know when you'll need a little [get it, its a compact gun]10mm firepower). Would you ever consider carrying a gun that wasn't intended for carry?
