Most 1911 guys consider high caps to be not real 1911s. Personally, I dont really care, but I dont own one either. I like the slim feel of the 1911 grip and I carry an extra mag with me, so, 16 rounds of 45 hollow point is plenty. But, I have actually carried a full sized 1911 several times, but I very much prefer the commander. I dont think a high cap commander would appeal to me either. I would carry whatever works for you.
I carry a full size 1911 .45acp like the original.......[100yrs ago]
no frills, bells, whistles, high cap mags,etc. for a simple reason,
it is what it is......tried and true !
There is only ONE TRICK to carry.....[IMHO]
Pick the carry weapon that YOU WANT to carry......
THEN you choose HOW to carry it.....
there are multiple options, and one or more will suit you
very comfortably ...no matter the weather, clothing, lifestyle,
IWB,OWB, etc.........
ANY gun enthusiast will never allow himself/herself to own
ONLY ONE GUN.....it just ain't possible, and will usually have
several options on how/what he/she carries because of it.
BUT....first you must choose the weapon you really are
comfortable with.........THEN you choose the carry method.
Question:
Never been skydiving...?? Scared...? Do it 50 times and guess what....??
IT AIN'T SQUAT.....NOW.
Too big, too heavy, too....whatever.......after you do it for awhile....
IT AIN'T SQUAT !
[for reference, sometimes I carry {concealed} a 7.5" .460 and you
would never know it, and I will not be fatigued by it]
jus' sayin'......
