I carry a Kimber Ultra Raptor Compact every day, cocked and locked. I love it and it will work if ,God forbid, I ever have to use it.

first 1911 Hello all. Thinking about getting my first 1911. I'm wanting the kimber ultra covert 2. Really wanted a full size but thinking this gun would make a good ccw gun. I carry a XD .40 service and compact model now and have for about five years. Never carried gun that has external hammer so I'm guessing it needs to be cocked and lock. New to the 1911 and just wanted some thoughts on carrying a gun like that. please comment good or bad.

I carry the Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II with my Crossbreed. I love it!:)
I, unfortunately sad to say, do not currently have a 1911. However, I'm highly considering the Sig Sauer Ultra. But hey, I'm partial to Sigs. Many manufacturer's offer great 1911's though.
KK, I like the Kimber Raptor also, but so does Kimber. LOL.

colt defender and the springfield ultra compact are nice carry models. I have the ultra compact myself
I carry the High Standard GI model (made by armscor) and it's great. I carry it in a shoulder rig and sometimes IWB SOB depending on the clothing. I enjoy carrying and shooting it and I use a .38 snubby as a back up. It's heavy on the pants; I wear suspenders to assist.
Have colt commander carry cocked and locked. Enjoy, find it funny all the folks and companies that spoke ill of 1911 and all of them now copy. Nice endorsement.
Big fan of the 1911. I am not nearly as well schooled as I would like to be on every possible make and model of pistol available, but of the modest number of firearms I have ever used the 1911 has proven itself to be a sturdy and reliable companion.
For most situations I have my Kimber Pro Carry II snug in my Mernickle SOB but it's such a pretty firearm that I am prone to breaking out my Kimber Avenger Holster for open carry.
And yes, condition 1 is the only way you should ever carry a 1911.
I carry the Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry with a custom made leather holster. Like all the other Kimber owners above, Love It!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info I'm getting this gun soon I hope can't wait to shoot it.
