    That is kind of the point of a 1911, is the light trigger pull, that is why they are carried cocked and locked.
    Oh I know this. I usually go for 2.5# for range/comp pieces and 3.5 for carry. This one was right at 2# on the initial assembly and then after a good polishing it came in 4 oz lighter. It is scary lite.

    Knew a Texas Ranger stationed in Abilene for years carried 1911 with Mexican silver grips. Never asked him, just assumed it was 45acp but would be interested where this one came from. He died years ago but this post really caught my eye!

    1911 carry rigs - All .45acp

    Rock Island 5"
    Springfield LW Champion G.I. 4.25"
    Springfield Range Officer Compact 4"
    Kimber Ultra Refined Carry Pistol 3"

    Working guns so the patina ain't real purty.
    The Kimber is Cerakoted Blue Titanium when I noticed a little of the famous Kimber Rust on the slide from pocket carry.
    The other three are parkerized and show their age when you get any closer than this photo.

    Thanks for looking.
