Team 1911...assemble

The problem with a carry 1911 is they are heavy and less and less reliable with the subtraction of barrel length.

Love my 1911s but 9mm for CC. For me anyways.

I put 200 rounds through my kimber crimson pro carry 2 today, first time I've shot it as it's a new gun. Very comfortable to shoot and it was easily the most accurate .45 I've ever shot. It shits on my glock 36 in that department. Very tight groups out to 25 yards.

This is potentially going to be a great pistol that I never get rid of. I say potentially because about 5% of those 200 I fired today sent the shell casing screaming right back at my face. Now, I was wearing a toboggan and safety glasses, so no harm was done...but in the event I need to use it to defend myself I'd like to not worry about losing an eye to a piece of brass.

:KRfat:

Damn, that thing is sweet.

Paw Paw has this as one of his CCs. Springfield EMP 9mm. Easily concealable. I think a 3" barrel.

Thanks Carson!

Although still heavy the 4 inch/commander size is just as reliable as the 5 inch. It's the 3 inch that has some reliability issues though newer guns with good springs help with that.

My brother has a P938. The gun is flat out fine. Great choice.

For $800, you could probably get a NIB Springfield Loaded Champion. Best 4" "off-the-shelf" I've ever carried.
