1- Reliability

5- cocked and unlocked

Just to name a few. I tried carrying the 1911s, full, mid, and CCO. Aluminum and steal. Are they comfortable? Yes. But, at the end of the day my back hurt a bit. Also, running locked and cocked I would notice the thumb safety would become disengaged sometime during the day. Not a huge deal but, it made me uncomfortable. Another note: I know it's a matter of training but, during dry fire training I noticed I would forget to disengage the thumb safety. My #1 reason I went with the striker fired plastic pistols is that I want more "in gun" capacity. I don't carry a spare mag most of the time (bad habit) and 6-7 rounds in today's crazy world is not enough. My Sheild holds 8+1 and it's smaller and lighter than my 1911s. Still, I want more capacity so I bought the new Compact that holds 15+1 with the ability to run the 17 round full size mags. If I carry the spare mag that will give me 33 rounds on my person.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the 1911s. Still my favorite pistols of all time.
