This is a magazine for people that identify as left-of-center, and either own firearms, or are in favor of gun rights (e.g., 2A rights for people that live in the US). This is a PRO-GUN magazine (ha!, see what I did there?). This magazine is explicitly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-feminism, and pro-BLM.

Tips on carrying a 1911 for a small guy? (self.LiberalGunOwners)

Probably just not feasible, but I have many pistols and the 1911 is what I'm best at. I carry an LCP MAX and some other .380s, but I'm not so hot with those. Also have a slightly larger Ruger 9MM that works great. Just about can't miss with the Colt Government Model.

I suppose the answer is to practice, practice, practice with the smaller guns?

You may be right actually… this is what I was going by and I had thought I remembered the .45 going further but it actually just clears it just like the 9s

Now that you got me curious, I did some more reading and you are right: 9mm and .45 acp have the same wound tracks but 9mm has more penetration
