This video explores the pros and cons of carrying a 1911 pistol for concealed carry, from a civilian perspective. While acknowledging its historical significance, stopping power in .45 ACP, and excellent trigger, the review highlights significant drawbacks for modern EDC. These include concealment challenges due to its full-size grip, discomfort from its weight and size during movement, and lower magazine capacity compared to many contemporary firearms. The presenter also discusses a reliability issue encountered around the 250-round mark and the higher cost of .45 ACP ammunition for training.
