I have a stainles 24/7 pro d/s in 9mm. i have a friend who apperantly really likes this and claims he cant find one. He also knows i want a PT1911 and is willing to get one and make a trade for my 24/7.

Now the question, Which would you rather have as a daily carry (concealed), the 24/7 pro ds or a pt1911 and why?

I'm biased, so I'd keep the PT24/7 PRO DS in a heartbeat - mine has been very dependable and accurate and the most ergonomical and comfortable pistol I've ever handled. I've never met a 1911 that felt good to me. Personally, your friend would be the winner in this exchange - but to each his own. That's MHO.

It's all very subjective but I find that 1911s are very comfortable to carry, and not that difficult to conceal. The fact that
my PT1911 is probably the most reliable and accurate handgun I own makes it a no-brainer for my EDC.

Hey Leland, from Big Spring Texas! Keep your 24/7.
When time & finances permit, get yourself a PT1911.

Oh, by the way, WB2LIG here, from Brooklyn New York, now living in Tulsa! :D

As you know I'm a big fan of the PT1911, it's my favorite pistol. But my choice for concealed carry or self defense would be the 24/7 over the 1911. As wonderful as the 1911 is, it is old technology. For many reasons the 24/7 is a better choice; capacity, size, construction, etc. Keep your 24/7 and buy a PT1911 when you can.

I would keep your 24/7 as I'm not a huge fan of 1911s. Don't get me wrong, I think 1911s are good guns, I just wouldn't carry one. Like BigSkiff said, the 24/7 has higher capacity and is lighter. Just MHO.

I'll say go with the 1911. Currently you can get the 24/7's in the 400-450. the Pt1911's are going in the 550-700 range. it would be easier to replace a $450 gun than a $600 gun. JMHO.

I would personally make the trade in a heartbeat, but thats me personally. I also wouldnt be carrying either for CC so thats something to consider. I wouldnt make the trade if I was looking for a better CC weapon, id just make it in the sense of the PT1911 being worth more, and me loving 1911s.
