Ok, I've been a long time fan of my Colt 1911 A1. It's circa WWII, actually manufactured in 1936 as it was my grandfather's sidearm in Germany. won't go into the whole story but let's just say it should be under a street somewhere but he accidentally forgot to obey the order to toss it in front of a steamroller and it made it's way back home.
I LOVE that thing and I've probably put 10,000 rounds through it at least. It's too big for a concealed carry though and I'm looking for and EDC and I'm really trying to decide between a pocket and an inside the belt.
I know I don't want a .380 and if I go Glock it'll be Gen 4. I'm entertaining 9mm, .40 and 45 but I think .45 might end up being too big.
I searched in this sub-forum and while there where a couple of threads where the 1911 was discussed I'm specifically looking for anyone who has switched or switches between a 1911 in .45 and Glock on a regular basis...if that makes sense. I know mechanics and trigger pull and recoil are all going to be different, I've been shooting most of my life, but sometimes you can find a 'sweet spot' and other's experiences can help me narrow it down.
