I was in Arizona, Phoenix area about a year ago. There were soccer moms packing at the supermarket.

Gotta love Soccer Moms

Here in VA. plenty of people open carry, don't know if there's an ordnance against it being loaded, but if you really think about it, if it ain't loaded, what's the use.

I have a concealed permit ... so you can count on mine being hot, when I do carry.

Its the one on the vid I posted in the opening post....it their basic 1911 .45 model...that will be my start off point....once I get more comfortable with owing guns I plan to get one or two more...

The Rock Island Armory (RIA) M1911A1 is an excellent “first gun” for someone who wants to try out the M1911 platform without over-committing resources.

This gun is very similar to the original GI M1911A1 except for the flat mainspring housing on the RIA.

The pistol is forged steel and made in the Philippines. The slides are hand fitted in the factory and some hand fitting is also done on the internals so that they all have a trigger pull between 4 and 5 pounds. From out of the box, it will eat almost any ammo without any FTF (failure to feed).

Good choice, but I advice you to know that gun very well.

Many law enforcers carry their 1911 guns that way. We call that "condition one" or locked and c0cked" and round in chamber. Some guns including the 1911 models are designed to be carried in such manner.

I personally, don't carry my 1911 or any pistol on "condition one"method. I prefer the "condition four" (hammer down on empty chamber) due to the many incidents associated with accidental discharge on the locked and c0cked" mode.

I've lost count of how many law enforcers and expert shooters known to me personally who experienced accidental discharge due to "condition one".

Nevertheless, whatever "carry" mode you wish to use is okay as long as you spend many hours practicing it.
