1911 LW commander which one

[HeavyDuty]

This makes sense. I think it's very hand dependent, which would be why my dad and I (similar builds) both like them and others have issues. I've posted elsewhere (I think in the 1911 pic thread) that a bobbed gun actually fits the natural contours of my hand and makes for what I think is better purchase on the gun, whereas a flat MSG actually kindof "breaks" by grip by forcing the lower edge of my palm away from the gun. Other people may have an exact opposite experience.

Found the pic I used to demonstrate:

Bobtail is great for concealment. The main reason I got a standard full grip on my commander is that I use pressure with the bottom two fingers of my strong hand to press against the grip against the palm for fine control of elevation. Because of that, losing the full grip with a bobtail would be no different for me than getting an officer frame. I think everyone has different hands and different grips, so it's great there's so much choice for all of us. For me, the full-length grip gives me better accuracy. If I have to go shorter, I carry a double-stack compact because if I'm losing accuracy, I might as well increase capacity.

Took the ECP to the range for the first time today.

Holy crap. First five:



This thing is a hell of a shooter, and a laser.

I love it when that happens.

Remind me not to get downrange of you.

Nice shootin' Tex.

Only 25’ at a reduced target to accommodate my eyes - but thanks.

Had a very similar experience with mine. I was a Dan Wesson fan before but that just cemented the position for me.

Oh, F me with a cactus. I’m trying to talk myself out of a matching 9mm ECP. I’m liking the ACP one that much.

Resistance is futile.

Enabling comment: "all your practice will be much less expensive but with the same gun, so you will save enough to pay for it several times over, probably within a year for a PF member"
