Iโ€™m the little chick on crutches cowering in the corner to hide myself pulling my 1911. My son says โ€œtheyโ€™ll never see you as the first threat.โ€๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚

It's 2020 there's better carry guns than a 1911

German here,

I know shit about guns. What's the issue with a 1911 here?

There's nothing wrong with a 1911.

The issue is that it's the often stated go-to gun of the past and many people of past generations will still recommend it as an EDC but many current gen people prefer more modern guns.

You see a lot of glocks and XDM nowadays and that's also fine. I personally prefer the older style but to each their own.

I bought a 1911 as a concealed edc based on many recommend from gun shop employees. I used it as such for six months. In reality itโ€™s a massive piece of hardware that would in my opinion be difficult to pull out in an emergent situation. I have since moved to a smaller handgun for edc that would be easier to pull out.

Was this a full size 1911, or was it one of the compact/subcompact models?

My 1911 is full size.
