My carry gun is a Wilson Combat CQB model, 5", in .45 acp....
I field strip it every time I shoot it ...and clean and lube it of course.../ I just wipe it down with a gun rag when I take it off my belt if I haven't shot it - no reason to reoil it, unless I've been out in heavy weather ( and that's almost never ..).
this is my primary carry gun...

I'm old school ...so I like the .45 acp ....but a 1911 in 9mm is fine for carry too. I have a few 1911's in 9mm ( a Kimber, a Baer and a Wilson )...and I can carry one of them as well ...with some kind of a 147gr defensive round..).../ I'm not a big fan of an alloy frame gun - but in 9mm its fine / in
9mm in a 1911, I use wilsons mags in them and they're 10 + 1 rds - good mags in either .45acp or 9mm in my experience.
