I find the standard Government 1911 too heavy for concealed carry; I prefer to carry a 1911 that is lighter, while just as accurate and reliable as it’s bigger cousins. I found one in the Springfield Armory’s new Ronin Operator 4.25”.

For the Old West Lover in Us: Davidson’s Exclusive 1873 Revolver
Published: January 31, 2021 { 30 comments }To me, there’s something special about using a Colt 1873-style revolver.
