Personally, I favor the P97 and that is because of the caliber. Owned plenty of both. -- Mike

There are several Ohio agencies that allow their officers to carry "whatever" and many of them do carry 1911's. -- Mike

It's not a 1911? -- Mike

Galco is my current preference. Will add a SSS266B side snap scabbard tomorow for my SR1911CMD. It's fullsize brother rides in the equivalent side snap scabbard. I just like the ability to put it on/take it off without belt removal. -- Mike

It would be my guess that the SR1911CMD is just not being supplied with an 8-round magazine. Confirmed from the website: "(Commander-Style Model ships with two 7-round magazines); bushing wrench; and soft case." -- Mike

Great, something else I'm going to have to order. :) -- Mike

Wasn't looking to go with anything custom. I have couple of options that will be much easier to work with. Thanks for the time. -- Mike
