    As for only 8 or 9 rounds; If you can hit what you shoot at, you won't need more than that.
    Love my Colt made in 1942! Still shoots like a champ!

    Weight doesn't bother me as much as size. My 1911 is my main carry gun but more often than not these days I'm carrying an S&W M36 because it's a lot easier to keep concealed and it's more comfortable. Thus I've reduced myself to 5 shots and still don't feel under gunned especially with a couple of speed loaders.

    I love Winter time because I can carry my full size double stack 1911s since all the fricking numbers that the needle on the thermometer points at start with a- in front of them.

    Yep my 1911 definitely gets more carry time in winter than summer. I'm actually considering buying a pocket gun for shorts and t-shirt weather, the M36 just doesn't carry well in a pocket holster. I was looking at the S&W bodyguard, haven't decided on that yet though.

    I don't understand why someone would think an 8 round magazine would be a drawback. Unless they are such a dweeb they only carry the one magazine that is in the gun. Who does that?
    My area is so low crime I just carry a 5 shot snub revolver in my front pocket. With an HKS speedloader in the other pocket.

    I only carry the magazine that is in my carry pistol, no extras on me. The extras are carried in my GHB. Of course, my magazines hold 17.

    I recently sold my colt 1911, I have to say It was a nice shooting gun, and just plain felt good in the hand. But I am trying to stick to 2 calibers in my handguns, 9mm and .357 mag. My buddy who bought my .45 carries it daily.

    My 1911 is mostly a safe queen. But when it is out...it's definitely time to wear a belt.

    If ya'll want to read a REAL review of a 1911, check the one I wrote for guns dot com. I put it in the gun review section here.
    If I don't answer the phone, it's probably because I'm in the Senate, taking a POTUS and wiping my Congress..

    Oh, and according to the dipsh** from Atlanta, I'm one of those Pansy A** Texans.
