True. A 1911 often gets carried for family BBQs and the like but my “don’t think about it” daily carry is a P30sk. I’m not alone here, either - a lot of members have 1911s that aren’t carried every day.
Does that make a 1911 a talisman for me? Mayhaps, but I like them nonetheless. My first pistol was a 5”, and they are like coming home.
