The 1911 has a proven track record of being a durable and long lasting firearm. The M1911 was in service longer than any other sidearm for a reason. The 45acp doesn't wear out a firearm like the +P guns issued these days and the thunk of a 230FMJ is an effective round against any BG. Reloaders contantly tell us that Chip McCormick magazines are 1 of maybe 2 manufacturers that actually improve the reliable feeding of their loads and the slide stops on the followers don't bend like the standard GI mags. If you own a 1911 keep your GI mags for plinking and stock up Chip McCormick 7rd, 8rd or 10rd magazines. Nothing makes a 1911 look better than a good leather holsters. Galco holsters work very well with the 1911 enthusiasts and are great open carry and concealed carry holsters. The Combat master is one of our biggest sellers. Concealment holsters for IWB or rock solid belt loop holsters for the 1911.
