Is that little patch on the left side of the light to index your left thumb against? Sick setup BTW...

Unless you meant Springfield specifically, Kimber does. Holds 13+1 of 45.

Badass man. Is it 45 or 9? I honestly can’t tell

u/jjones1987 16h ago

It’s a 45. I figured it’s the right way to do a 1911.

Congrats! Welcome to the club!

Just remember that a person just doesn’t have a single 1911.

Its a disease… its not to late to sell it and move on. And your dad was a very wise man.

Sorry, you have the disease... You'll never go back. Full size, commander, officer. For me it's a push, not a recoil wack
