For the record, I am still a 1911 guy. I love 1911s. The 1911 and CZ 75 are my two most accurate platforms in my hands. The ergonomics are terrific. However, the manual safety requires plenty of constant practice so that disengaging the safety is second nature when drawing from the holster. For people with the time to practice enough, it is a terrific carry platform. Unfortunately, while I still practice a lot (and probably wouldn't have an issue), I no longer have time to practice enough for me to feel comfortable carrying a 1911 (or my CZ 75B cocked and locked). So, even though I love 1911s, and even though I have several CCW guns, I am looking for a new .45ACP CCW platform.
