Itake concealed carry very seriously.
My concealed everyday carry guns all are chosen with a direct purpose in mind.
I have larger guns for the winter months as well as small guns for summer.
One thing is for sure, performance is a must in all these guns and concealability has no compromise.
When I first laid eyes on theSpringfield Armory 911 in 9mmI had to get my hands on one.
In just one short trip to the range, I fell in love with it.
Quickly, this little powerhouse became one of my main guns for concealed carry.
Now, however, Ive taken things to the next level.
For this article, the shop would work on my Springfield 911.
The 911 is a miniaturized model of the classic 1911.
From the factory, Springfield offers many different styles.
The 3 416R stainless steel barrel is precision broached and has a black nitride finish as well.
Much of the Continuous Precision work was done here, but I dont want to get ahead of myself.
The 911 also has a full-length guide rod with flat wire spring recoil system.
On top of that slide sits a set of Tritium sights that are absolutely perfect.
If you shoot small guns a lot, you know how important your grip is when shooting.
The trigger is crisp with a short reset.
The single-action trigger sports a polymer G10 trigger shoe by Hogue.
I actually had to really inspect it to be sure it was indeed polymer.
I shoot numerous small carry guns very similar in size to the 911, and this trigger feels great.
Just smooth and crisp.
At the Range
Shooting the 911 is actually quite enjoyable.
I say that because most small pistols are not very fun at the range.
They are purpose-driven monsters that beat you during any kind of training.
This Springfield surprised me.
The trigger has a very minimal take up before breaking at just about 5 lbs.
That break is followed by a short reset.
I shot five different types of ammo through the 911 during testing.
I shot the best groups withHornady Critical DefenseLite 100-gr.
and Wilson Combat 115-gr.
HAP at 15 ft with just over 1 groups.
It ate it all flawlessly.
I did not experience any malfunctions.
I hit up Continuous Precision to help me out here.
The companys motto is Enhance Your Survivability, and this shows in all of their products.
Continuous Precision offers some of the best slide enhancements I have ever seen.
This instantly woke this gun up and took it to an even higher level.
And if you want that 911 to be even cooler, check out Continuous Precision for some upgrades.
