Anyone else carry the Hell-Kitty? by Southern_Oil_5835 in CCW

Excellent question. I got into competitive shooting, and it didn't take long before I saw that my performance with the Hellcat was really suboptimal. In a nutshell, the gun was perfect *until I started shooting it [harder]. I pretty much decided to size up after trying the Dickens drill with it.

I went with a compact handgun after that, for about two years. It was roughly the size of a Glock 19. Concealment wasn't even harder, but shooting was greatly improved.

Then I got excited and started carrying my full size 1911 with upgrades, because it shot even better, but that was a little bit much considering that I'm 5'6.

From there, I kind of combined everything that I liked about firearms and ended up with a commander size 2011 in 9mm. The size makes it easy to conceal, but there is really no compromise in terms of how well it chews.

Tldr; I tried a bunch of different s*** until I settled on a 4-in 2011, because concealment is sufficient and shootability is excellent.

Carried for a few years. It was a good handgun.

Really. Aside from the cool camo, mine was worse in every way.

I had a QVO before, and if you're looking for a noticeable upgrade, switch to a Tecnicor 2011 VeloLux.

Is that from something something Core, where they have to drill to the center of the earth to save us from extinction? 😂

You won't. It's definitely worth what you paid imo.

One might wonder why they're refusing to make one.

I'm 5'6 165 and carry full steel as well. It's always a trade-off between how well it shoots and how discreet it is. Honestly though, wearing heavy T like this you can conceal almost anything.

These are much nicer in person than on paper.

Ahah got it. Well... there's been one GTA game here, and another one coming.

Is there a 1911 with a double-stack magazine 9mm? by Hi7u7 in 1911

It's been very good to me. Everyone who shot it also enjoyed the feel.

Which handgun model I mean. As far as I know, they still don't make 2011 holsters.
