I carry and H&K and I like it. I really like the Springfield XD better as a carry weapon but it has the same safety's as a glock basically.

As far as carrying a 1911 goes, I love 1911s I had 10 of them at one point but its not what I would choose as my carry weapon. Even the compacts are big and heavy and even Wilsons aren't reliable enough for me.

I trust the springfield so much that I bought my brother one to carry at work.
