No all of them feel different but to me they all feel good
9x19 is what most people call 9mm its also called 9mm parabellum or 9mm luger or 9mm nato

Rumor has it, like 95% of the rest of us, hes had his fair share of cheeseburgers and fried chicken, and when you carry a 1911 canted in an IWB the tip of the MSH jabs you in the lovehandles when you sit. I have had the pleasure of trying an Ed Brown Cobra Carry in my IWB and it is a HUGE difference. Just that small amount of missing metal takes the edge off and makes the 1911 a very comfortable option for deep concealment.

At least this is what I gather from unpublished readings and talking with those in the know..

I didnt know that everyone says its to keep it from printing but thats why I liked the idea of it mine digs in some I'm kinda big I'm thinking of bobbing my ria frame since it was a cheapo sarco frame anyway and the msh pin hole is not square with the frame

JLA · 08-08-2011, 09:55 PM

Thats the beauty of em. you can put whatever you like in there and theres a 99% chance itll be good. Let me know how it turns out.

I have also been grilling portabella mushroom caps. baste them with garlic butter and oliveoil and load em with cheese and fresh salsa. Excellent..

I can see the printing thing on skinny guys, but Im a large fella and a full size 1911 all but disappears in my waist band, except for when I sit, I have to pull that thing out a bit so it doesnt dig in. The bobtail solves both problems

H-D · 08-08-2011, 10:01 PM

Beth, the holster in a Gunsite Omega by Galco Gunleather. Great holster for the range. But it has been discontinued.

BETH · 08-09-2011, 03:53 PM

Thanks Sam, do u think i can get the feel of a STI spartan by holding a 1911 kimber?

Shooter45 · 08-09-2011, 04:04 PM

I think so. One thing about a 1911. If the grip doesn't fit you, , it can be enlarged by using an arched mainspring housing and a long or extra long trigger. Grip too big, buy thinner grips, use a short trigger and a flat mainspring housing.

BETH · 08-09-2011, 04:16 PM

ok Sam u have me convinced gonna have to get one

BETH · 08-10-2011, 06:03 PM

Shooter45 · 08-10-2011, 08:51 PM

Shooter45 · 09-03-2011, 06:29 PM

Contact DoubleD.

JLA · 09-03-2011, 06:34 PM

I guarantee you DD cant be beat on price. I sometimes wonder how that guy affords to eat..

Double D · 09-03-2011, 07:49 PM

I have 585.00 in a spartan before any profit. If I shipped for 600.00 I would break even or go in the hole. The millionares dont pay as much as I do so they can sell for less.
