    I never carried one (until now) however I repaired hundreds of them while I was stationed at Fort Dix NJ in 1963 as a small arms repairman. Greatest weapon besides the M1 Grand ever manufactured.

    Carried the 1911 on and off from 82-06. We also had access to the Beretta and Sig. I always shot Expert with the 1911 and could only shoot sharpshooter with the Beretta and Sig. Go figure!

    Qualified with 1911 and M1 in Navy Reserve (71-74). As a civilian police officer, carried a Combat Commander as an off-duty gun (had to carry revolver on duty) and later (different department) carried my Gold Cup as a duty gun until the Sheriff mandated that everyone carry a Glock 21 (at least he kept the caliber right).

    I carried one in Vietnam, maybe that's why it is my favorite, but I also have fond memories of my father talking of his that he carried in the Big One, my youngest brother has it.
    But, I NEVER carried a 1911 in uniform! I ain't never seen a 1911 uniform, what's it look like? Or are you referring to the leather one?

    If a 1911 ever had a "uniform" it certainly was the leather flap holster or the leather "tanker" shoulder holster.
