Can You CCW a Double-Stack 1911?

Trust me, my X-Legion’s trigger is like budder……. And it doesn’t go off by itself….

You told me that and I believe you. That's why I mentioned it.

Carrying a full size double stack 1911 is doable for a small percentage of Americans. Many of us are overweight and carrying options are limited.
I often carry a four inch 1911 and spare mag but I can’t carry it appendix style. If you have any amount of belly hanging over your belt you get stabbed on top as well as the bottom.

If you feel the need to carry a double stack pistol why not a 9mm?
This article was an advertisement to sell holsters for this company, nothing more.

Well, you know, Astin-Martins require a lot of maintenance…there’s better cars available at a much lower price, like a 1988 Yugo…

If you can find a junk yard that still has one or sold it off for $20 of scrap

Carried a 1911/45, then a P14/45, it got heavy fast. Next an XD 45 in a Crossbread ST, then a G23 also in an ST. Put the G23 in a Tier 1 Elite, the thought of the striker fired action pointing there got the best of me. Went to a CZ 75, then XDM Elite 10mm . Just picked up a 4.25 Prodigy for carry. Talked to an older Ranger today, on his hip sat a Staccato.

Every review I have read/seen, says the Prodigy isn't all that good, and that there are much better pistols available at a much lower price. The Canik SF is mentioned often.

Just say no to drugs. Seriously.

Do what you do.

Yeah, you’re gonna need more than $20.

Is this $9000 Yugo the best worst car?

The Yugo is a car everybody loves to hate on, but when was the last time you saw a nice one?

A double stack 1911 just ain't right, I don't think JMB would approve.

I think JMB was a lot more forward thinking than some people give him credit for. He certainly wasn't a staunch traditionalist who was stuck in his ways, and didn't believe in evolution and improvements.

If JMB had lived longer he would have invented the 2011 90 years ago.
