Given that the 1911 is such a dynamic platform, I think it is one of the few models that begs the question - are there minimum requirements for a CCW 1911?
I am not necessarily interested in brands - more in the components required for a reliable carry gun.
Is it a ramped barrel - is that necessary for JHP? Is it a 'speed bump' on the grip safety? Is is a lowered/flared ejection port? Is it anything but the original combat sights?
Maybe none of this stuff is necessary, and I'd be just as happy to hear that.
I think this is a post that might benefit many readers and may be a bit different than the standard: "whatz the best 1911 for fighting ninjas in bear country," or something to that effect...
Thanks in advance!
