I know of no such requirement. The only residency limitation is on non-resident aliens, and that's 90 days.

That requirement applies to *resident* aliens as well (aka. green card holders). Resident aliens are
required to show proof of 90 days of residency for handgun purchases.

I'm shopping for an IWB holster (1911). I'm looking at the Andrews MacDaniel II (or the SouthFork Razorback, which looks like the same design), but I'm wondering about the pros/cons of this type of holster vs a tuckable holster. I realize the tuckable could be slower to draw from, but I'm wondering ...

My Hi-Power does not leave Condition 1 except for the brief moments when cycling shots

nice Hi-Power - is it the newer FM model? The slide isn't tapered at the front & I think only
FM does that.

my choices are based on what feeds reliably and what I can get components for to load practice
ammo with:

# 45ACP: Remington Golden Sabre (not +P)
# 9mm: Speer 124gr Gold Dot

I guess the more important question is does your belt match the color?
I wear only black belts, so I would want whatever clip/strap the holster
has to be black also. Yes, no one should see it, unless its a tuckable,
then the clip would be exposed.

how about a compact 1911, or its that outside the price range ($500?)

>Also the true 1911A1 design does not have a firing pin block. The original design did not, but don't Series 80-based models (Colt, ParaOrdnance) have a firing-pin block of some sort? Note this was to reduce the chance of the gun firing if dropped, not to encourage lowering of the hammer on a loaded...

I prefer black, but it seems many holsters come in brown/tan/natural only.

>Yes to all! Have one of each to go with everything!

:-) does that include sharkskin or gator?

I'm just curious - do ya'll prefer black or brown holsters?
cowhide or other leathers?

I use gun scrubber & hoppes for cleaning, FP10 and slide glide for lube.
I'm also using RIG +P stainless lube for all stainless guns, but I'm
trying FP10 in those instead to see how well it works.

you may also want to consider Essex frames. They are available from Brownells.

I'm new here, but maybe I can answer your question. 1911 frames (receivers) aren't manufactured calibre specific. With the proper parts you can use one frame for multiple calibres. The stock ejectors are different for 9mm/38Super vs 45. You will either have to switch ejectors everytime you want to s...
