We have shot and carried 1911s for closing in on 50 years. Pre-IPSC, IPSC, USPSA, Idpa, 3 gun and use in the field has wedded us to old slabsides but our daily carry guns have evolved from full sized steel guns in .45ACP, thru Commanders (LWs), and finally settling where we are today. Regardless of caliber, the 1911 CCO has become our daily carry gun. Light, handy and shootable. Wouldn’t want one in a 10mm, but any other caliber will do.
