I never understood the reason for the bobtail. Does the sharp edge of the magwell bother you? If so, grow a sack.

I like Bobtails and have several. But I prefer an arched mainspring housing.

This is the 1911 equivalent of stippling your Glock 19 with a waffle iron.

Here's another one. I kind of wonder what I was thinking on this one.
It's an old pic, kinda poor quality as well.   Attached File |

Not until you carry one crammed in your appendix sitting in a small compact car.  That corner might print some in a non aiwb holster but it certainly doesn't jam in to me |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The bobtail softens the carry silhouette appreciably. If you're wearing a shirt that tends to print you don't have that sharp apex at the terminal point of the grip. It's a small difference, but if you're seriously intent on carrying a 1911 it's worth considering. I've been CCWing my DW VBOB for 12+ years in a Milt Sparks OWB pancake. It's the tits at the range, and the Commander dimensions fit me perfectly. YMMV, but it gets handed off to a lot of curious people and I hear, "holy shit that's a nice shooter" from all manner of striker carry guys. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/457055/DSC_0580_JPG-2915868.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/457055/DSC_0062_JPG-2915874.JPG I think it probably helps more to conceal behind the hip than aiwb. |
