There are reasons why the full-size 1911 pistol is often described as “iconic,” and the gun’s long and successful history on battlefields, in the streets and at pistol championships isn’t the only reason. It’s slim for its power level, an important dimension for both comfort and concealment. When properly built, it’s also remarkably accurate, and its trigger system and grip shape adapt well to a broad range of hand sizes. The 1911 is not seen as often in holsters as polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols. Why is that? But you do not see it as often in holsters as you do striker-fired,…

If you carry a Glock 43X or 48, you can now get factory mags with 50 percent greater capacity.A lot of people enjoy carrying Glock’s Slimline pistols, the 43X and 48, because of their small size.
