Anyone here ever switch from carrying a polymer ( Glock, USP, Walther P99/PPQ, M&P, FNX, etc. ), to a 4 or 5 inch 1911? Did you end up switching back? Did you like the switch? Did you have any problems with corrosion on the 1911? Just interested. I can realistically only afford one or the other for the foreseeable future and am somewhat thinking about trading up to a 1911, but the weight and wear resistance compared to the polymer wonders that you can stuff in a holster and give very little attention to, so those with experiences are premium advisors to me!
Thanks fellas,
Pete
