Thread: How many people CCW here?

That just gives you another reason for another pistol. All kidding aside, the 1911 is like the AR-15, there are a gazillion parts to customize it to exactly what you want. There's a reason it's still around and going strong after 100 years...it works & works well.

Yeah I have my grandfather's 1943 Remington Rand 1911a1 that I'm trying to restore but I'm running into difficulties, But that's what you get with a restoration. And I agree that a 1911 is like the AR-15, easy to overdo. What I look for in a pistol is reliability and accuracy first, followed by size. I'm looking to get something a little easier to conceal without it being smaller than a 9mm or .38 special. If I can find something that I like I'd carry it all the time and my XD for when I can carry heavy.

I've got a German made Makarov in 9x18 that's a nice little carry weapon. It's single stack, all steel, reliable, and fits my small mid-caliber criteria for carry. I would recommend one to anyone, but have heard that the German and Russian ones are the only ones you would want as some of the other countries who made them used poor craftsmanship.

Great caliber 9x18; I prefer it over the .380.
I owned several 9x18's,now just two, I love the Bulgarian & the Polish P-64, both built great.

Never met a Bad Gun; just careless shooters.
