As much as I love 1911's and these are what I reload for mostly, I stick to my cheaper polymer framed guns for edc. I've been told by several shooters that if you ever use one for defense, law enforcement will confiscate it, and you may or may not ever see it again!

I carry my Les Bear TRS almost every day. i only cary my Colt Officers when wearing shorts or really need to make sure I will not print at all. By the way I also shoot the Bear for IDPA shoots.

To me that is what IDPA is all about, run and train with what you carry.

I carry a G26 sometimes, but it's mostly 1911's IWB. We do have open carry here in Oklahoma, but I'm not a cowboy. It is nice though, so if you were to reach up and your shirt rises enough to show your piece you aren't breaking the law. I pray that I never have to use my weapon, but if I do loosing the weapon would be the least of my worries. Key thing guys is to have it with you guys, be prepared & well practiced. I miss IDPA, met a lot of good guys out there. I wish we had some 3-gun stuff around here.

My daily CCW is a Sig P229 chambered for .40 S&W, and housed IWB in a Milt Sparks VersaMax. And I'm never without my Gerber Applegate/Fairbairn folder.

This is one reason that I love my Sig P229/.40 SW: the sucker was DESIGNED for the .40, & has very minimal muzzle flip compared to other folks products in the same caliber.

Really, though, my Springfield XD subcompact doesn't have too much flip. I'm actually waiting for them to finally release the XDs in .40 so I don't have to change calibers.

OT: Speaking of muzzle flip (and perceived recoil in general) I've been reading Alan Eguza's (sp?) book on the turnipseed technique (as in Ken Turnipseed), and there's some pretty interesting theory in there.

I carry every day, Smith & Wesson M&P40 full size in a SHTF Gear Leather/Kydex IWB ( Inside the waistband ) holster.

I live in Massachusetts so I have my unrestricted class A LTC and can carry concealed only, no open carry unless you want the Liberal moonbats to call the cops on you! Such a freaking joke!

With a permit you can open carry here.
For me it depends, around the house I OC a lot and if I have to run an errand to the corner store or Wal-Mart I don't change rigs.
I have had a conversation with a local LEO as he was not aware of the Attorney Generals ruling. A good number of people in this area carry.
Many of the Old Timers without a permit (class B misdemeanor). Sometimes it is nice to be in an area that is still semi rural and has that mentality for the most part.
