I love my 1911. I carry a glock for a duty and bug as well as EDC. I use a 40 cal and am pretty happy with the round. Its a trade off but in real life use it has proven very effective.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> i love 40 cal. is that what you carry on duty? i carry a sig226 40 cal at work. i think it is very effective and accurate with one hand shooting, i often only have my gun hand free so that why i went with 40 instead of 45acp
