... What brands have you had success with other than crossbreed (I have one and love it for my xd but was exploring other options for a 1911)?
After scanning through the thread I do have one question which I realize there is no one answer but several of you mention quality gear. I realize and have purchased quality gear for my current carry weapon however I have kicked around carrying one of the 1911's I have but am struggling to find (in my opinion) a high quality leather holster I like that will ride close and high enough to conceal easily.

For your holster question go to the general firearms section theres a 2 page thread on this going on right now
I'm not disagreeing with the part about continually seeking training and practicing to develop the mindset, etc., being a good thing. I wholeheartedly agree with that. But, to say it's something that needs to be done "or else" I can't agree with....what about shooting at people who are no longer a threat?

Plenty of Americans go through life without noticing anything at all. Should they be less able to defend themselves?

I think about my mom in situations like this. She's the classic, "I took my conceal and carry class so now I'm good" and NEVER carries her gun. But, it's there in the night stand if needed. Is she going to have the mindset and ability to defend herself at the gas pump? No. But, someone banging on the door at 2am will, most likely, meet an armed mother.
Not everyone is going to be condition orange all the time.

Anything interesting happen in this thread?
Real 1911s are only available in .45 and they're all made by Colt.
1911 is a large heavy gun to carry but to each there own
