Encounter at the gas station.

[Bullfrog80]

This morning I was on my way to work and stopped to get gas. I wasn't open carrying but wasn't exactly concealed either. Full size 1911 owb under a tight t shirt. As I was pumping I hear a serious voice ask are you carrying a gun? I looked over and an older gentleman was looking my way grumpily. I thought to myself oh he is going to give me a hard time. I answered yes 24/7. He stated that it takes a lot of responsiblity to carry a gun. I agreed and stated it took a certain mindset and a lot of training. That seemed to change his attitude and he became curious what type of gun I had. We ended up having a nice chat and it turns out he carried for 35yrs for his job. I was sure it was going to be a real headache but ended up good....

I have yet to attempt such a feat. Would probably have to buy a belt to hold up my pants with it clipped on my waistband. Haha

 

[buford t justice]

Good to hear a positive outcome for once.

Yes sir. I have carried one for 20 plus years. Milt Sparks IWB Summer Special and you hardly even know it is there.

That's what I wanna do!

I've only tried two or three different times...but I have a big butt to hold my pants up.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

It's all about the belt. I've been OC'ing a full-size Colt 1911 for a while now

A Good Holster is just as important...

I carry a full size .45 S&W, 645..... REAL BIG .....

 

[youngda9]

I carried a Sig 229 for a couple years with a good belt and holster...had to go to something lighter, it was just too much. I can't imagine a 2.5lb full size 1911 all day every day.

I have the opposite problem. I have no butt and a big belly. Lots of pulling up the pants all day long...

I generally OC either a Sig 220, 226, or a 1911...

I have carried for full sizes for so long it is not really that big of a deal to me.

 

[jimbo-indy]

Full size 1911's are very comfortable to carry if you have a proper holster and belt. I often carry a CZ 97B, now that's some serious weight, but still comfortable with a good holster and heavy/wide belt. Remember, "carrying a gun is comforting, not comfortable."

Try carring a lighter gun and you'll realize what you've been missing. I switched to an M&P compact which is much lighter, holds 11 rounds instead of 13. It was like an anchor was lifted off my hip.

Once you go black(polymer) you never go back.

Nah...

I like my heavy metal Pistol. When I run out of rounds I can beat my enemy to Death with the empty Pistol...
The Extra Weight helps...
