So to start off with this is not a caliber war discussion!
For those of us who carry 9mm, among other calibers, I am curious if you have both single stacks and 2011's when and why do you choose to carry the single stack? If you don't have both but only have single stacks, why did you choose to get a single stack 9mm 1911 over a 2011?
I have both personally though I have to admit that the 2011's get carried the majority of the time if I am not carrying a .45, its not that I necessarily feel like I need the 17 rounds that day though I do factor in to the equation where I am going through the day and potential risks but most often its just that I grab the 2011 because it's as easy to carry and conceal as the single stack, the weight difference feels negligible to me (I haven't actually broken out a scale) & why not right?
Perhaps its a location and weather thing? If you are located somewhere that it is extremely hot during the summertime, and you roll in shorts and a t-shirt for several months a year, then I could see that a single Stack might be easier to carry.
