I carry a full size S & W 1911 in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II.
nice.I applied for my carry permit a couple weeks ago. When it shows up i'm packing this S&W 686
I just can't see how carrying that large of a gun can be comfortable? Don't get me wrong, I like the gun! I carry 1911 pattern pistols myself, but all my carry pistols are 1911 compact size guns, roughly "Officer" sized guns, some a bit smaller, some a bit bigger. And depending on the gun they weigh anywhere from 28 ounces to 40 ounces (fully loaded) they can get heavy at the end of the day if I don't have a good belt on to support the gun. I suppose I could switch up to one of my government sized 1911s to try it, but I think it might just make me appreciate the compact 1911 all that much more?
