I am a retired Army, Viet Nam vet - former sniper and competitive shooter. I like the 1911 but these days I prefer the M9. A little on the large side for CC but it is an easy gun for almost everyone to master/shoot accurately. Both the Marine Corps and the Army long ago replaced the 1911 with the the Beretta M9/M9A1. Try the two side by side and see what you think.
