I have carried my Ed Brown 1911 for years. I train with it regularly and it is fun to operate

I carry a 1911 EDC. I have noticed as I get older the flush mags are harder to completely seat during a combat mag change (at the range) and in a critical scenario this could be life threatening

I decide to send my Springfield Ronin to Nighthawk. It will be a my 50th birthday gift to me. The closet thing to having a custom 1911. I cannot afford 4,000 1911. This is the next best thing .

IMHO there is no firearm like a 1911âŠ
when I first started shooting I heard so much about em from othersâŠ
but decided against em⊠just contrariness I guess⊠and this was before the custom built startedâŠ
so they had sort of a accuracy issue back thenâŠ
years later after several firearms⊠picked up a 1911⊠was a very basic modelâŠ
now⊠LOVE em⊠and once you get the operation of such in your headâŠ
easy peasy⊠and accurate!!!

There was one guy who went on record (I couldnât find the link anymore) that he doesnât allow 1911s in his CCW class because they always fail.
I have one full size and a compact and theyâve been flawless so far. 111 years and JMBâs creation still has a strong reputation and continues to gain new followers.

I love my 1911⊠I would bet my family life on it⊠In my opinion we have to embrace owning a 1911 under the history and the working components. My current 1911 have 800rounds and no issues. Magnum Research commander

That would be a great opportunity for someone familiar with 1911s to work with the owner.

I just found it
âNRA Carry Guard Level One is designed for training with a semi-automatic handgun (Glock 19/17, Sig P226/P228 or equivalent). We will not allow revolvers or 1911s as your primary firearm in this class.â
This old article gave an update.
The NRA Carry Guard course was part of an insurance plan and are discontinued.
Seems that had to do more with capacity. I didnât see reliability mentioned in either the original article or the NRA retraction.
@Ouade5 youâre right. It wasnât that one. Lazy moment. I was looking for one specific instructor.
A few states have a 10 round max on guns. A 1911 in 9mm or .38 Superb use 10 round mags. I donât have a problem with instructors limiting some gun models. I have seen lots of people show up for a class with holsters, belts, and mag holders still in the wrapper, I doubt they did much cleaning or lubing their guns.

Maybe there should be a âunboxing your new firearmâ class.

When I train at Fox Den solution to hone my pistol skills. I do not bring extra Shi$&# i only bring what i use for my EDC. What do i mean? Yes I have extra magazines but I ony have one magazine pouch. I want to simulate close to what i use for my EDC. Even in my Rifle classes folks looks at me and ask you have no magazine pouch? And your magazines are in your back-pocket? My response to everyone -I am not going outside my house or drive around with my rifle at any point. I have no reason to do so. If I was outside with my Tavor x95 it would Mad Max type event

I love my SA RO 1911! I found it a bit on the larger size for my EDC, but I love the way it handles, the accuracy and pretty much everything else about it. So my choice of the EMP4 seemed very natural as it feels very similar in my hands, obviously a bit lighter, but just as accurate. I much prefer to carry a bit of extra weight with the all metal frame as opposed to a polymer. Just one mans opinion. I do own a couple of polymers, Shield EZ, Taurus PT709, but love my custom Beretta and 1911s more.
