I carry OWB, because I have been laid up and have gained about 80 lbs. I carry a Sig Ultra Compact or my Ruger SR1911. Just whichever I feel like. Mostly the Sig. I carry condition 1 with 2 spare mags. I could really care less if I "print". All the people around here know me and know if I have my pants on, I got a gun.

Thanks guys, this helps alot. I'm going to order a Milt Sparks IWB holster for my recently aquired CCO. I will carry it condition 1 as it seems to be THE way to carry. Sorry for the dumb question, just am relatively new to the 1911 platform but not to CC in general. I've carried my Sig Sauer P250s for some time now and like them, but being a double stack, its bulky and the long, heavy DAO trigger is both a blessing and a curse. It can throw off POI if you are rusty. I much prefer the trigger on my Dan Wesson 1911s to any other pistols I own.
I have some friends who won't carry a 1911 because its single stack and they want 15-17 shots. I plan to carry some extra mags but I feel that the first few rounds should be your best and most accurately placed. I don't want to be in public in a firefight spraying bullets, that could lead to bad outcomes.

You are right. I'd rather have a 8-10 properly placed 10mm or 45, than 15 9mm. IMHO
