Here's something funny though related to what you just asked... I can put a florescent light tube close to my antenna and make it glow when I key up... lol

I have to say out of all of the handguns I've ever personally fired... which is an awful lot of them... the 1911 .45 still has to be one of the smoothest ones I've ever shot. And that's part of the reason they were produced and issued for military use around the world for literally decades and decades. toughness and reliability. I'd own one in a heartbeat if they weren't so pricey. IMHO.

I built this last one with a Rock Island Frame and parts kit. Everything fit nice... I was impressed. Completely assembled they go for about 450. They also have a kit that comes with two barrels, one in .40 s&w and one in 10 mm. I want this kit... .45, .40 and 10 mm all from the same 1911.
now that I'm back... seriously considering getting another SA XD40 Mod2. That's what I had for my cc before and really, really liked it.

^^^ oh... my mistake... didn't clarify.. I meant for a true orig. 1911, not a modern reproduction in same or other caliber. sorry.

yeah...very true...a good friend of mine has his dad's original WWII issued one, and I've shot it a few times..and oh man, I was in love. Such a beautiful gun to fire. Smooth, and so little recoil for a .45. I could shoot one of those all day long and not get tired. lol.

I have fired those, they are a fine weapon. My problem is I'm a smaller guy with small hands so the slimmer profile of the 1911 lets me grip it easier. But mostly being all metal and heavier helps me keep it down for a second tap. But as for capacity, I always wondered if more than 7 or 8 rounds in .45 is ever actually going to be needed to stop someone, if you are hitting the mark of course.

I liked my Springfield Armory XD40 Mod2 for cc because it's so compact, reliable..and it does have a wider grip because it uses a double-stack magazine.

so to keep this whole thing on topic.... lol... how does it work with them in your vehicle in AZ seeing as how AZ is an open carry state? Do they even have cc's in AZ?

If it's not a lot of trouble then why not? It could be redundant right now but it might lock you in if anything changes in the future. You already have the approval and status.
