You’re limited to 8 rounds, what’s your choice?

[cfullgraf]

1911 in 45 ACP for full size.

Pocket carry, it really does not matter as they generally load less than 8 rounds. But to be more specific, an S&W 642 or a Colt Mustang.

Please, someone tell me I'm not stupid ,but is that round loaded backward in the mag?

It is a requirement for taking pictures of H&K's! (It's an old advertisement faux pas)

I considered doing that but then I thought better of it.

I say forgive and forget.

 

[JR24]

I was scolded once for taking an improper HK picture

I’ve been thinking I’d like a VP9SK optic ready.

It does look that way.

As I often carry a 3" bbl'd, Smith M-60, I'm used to the round count limitation...and the affect such a limitation sometimes has on my movements. A reload can expand my travel choices, but it's still up to me to avoid troublesome areas.

My alternate choice, and one that I frequently choose is an alloy frame Sig 1911 RCS. Add'l mags make this arguably a better choice...the gun that I carry (in Condition One), uses a flush fit 7-round mag with an additional round in the chamber. And the add'l mags that I have, but seldom carry, are a pair of 8-rounders with rubber bumpers.

HTH'S Best regards, Rod

About two thirds of the handguns I own are eight round or less so I would have absolutely no issue being limited to eight rounds.

Simply not an issue.

80% of my handguns are less than 8
Plus my muzzleloading 45 single shot....

I'm not against high capacity auto loading handguns. I just love revolvers.

I have a 442,CW45,P9 and a LW commander in 9mm any of those see carry although the colt much less because if you need to d3fend yourself you may lose the gun. I will eventually buy a Tisas tanker for carry as well. I’m not one of the people than needs to carry a laser beam to Feel equipped with anything at all.

If you carry 8 rounds or less you practice to be more accurate, practice mag changes & carry more mags.

If you carry 8 rounds or less you practice to be more accurate, practice mag changes & carry more mags.

Regardless of the number of rounds everyone should be practicing to be more accurate and mag changes.

[JTHunter]

Of the guns I currently own, only a 45 y.o. Astra .380 has 8 shots. All of the others are either over that (Keltec PMR-30) or less (3 revolvers - .22LR/Mag, .38 Sp., & .357).
If such a restriction were to be enforced, I would have to go searching for an 8-shot revolver, probably in .357 as I already have that ammo.

 

[WoodTek]

For me it would be a Kimber Micro 9 loaded with 7+1 147gr Winchester PDX1 Defender.

I asked myself the same question as the OP twelve years ago. My choice then and now… my DW 1911 CCO .45 ACP in IWB and OWB Milt Sparks leather. Spare mag as well. It also happens to be my bedside pistol! Love the single action trigger!
