It's the only way to go.

I agree, WE NEED PICTURES!!!





Unfortunately my wife is up visiting our new nephew in Kansas, with the digital camera.

Para Ordnance, either a P12 (officer size double stack) or an LDA 12 (same thing with the new double action trigger)

I carry a Colt Concealed Carry Officer Lightweight in a Galco JAK Slide attached to a Wilderness Tactical Instructor belt. I would never have imagined a 1911 could be carried so comfortably and so well concealed.

That's really an accomplishment considering I live in Florida. Being retired, most days I wear denim shorts with a tee shirt, Polo, or maybe a Columbia fishing shirt. It doesn't print at all, nor is it a bother to carry.

Most of the time, a series I 4" Kimber Compact Stainless. Sometimes a (used to be) Series 80 Colt. On rare occasions my Kimber Polymer Stainless, concealment is the biggest issue with this one considering my skinny frame (6' even, 155lbs).

Bought my first handgun in 1967 so I've been doing this pretty steady for 37 years. The majority of that time (over 20 years) I've carried one version or another of the 1911. Tried a few other things like a revolver when I first went into Law Enforcement and 4 years spent trying to master the trigger on a Glock, but I always came back to the 1911 in 45 ACP. It's what I shoot best, feel most comfortable with and have the most confidence in.

I carry my Sistema every once in a while, usually winter time and with a coat.

"It's a real shame that Kimber is the only manufacturer to make a compact 1911 with a 4" barrel like this anymore."

Not so. No need to appeal to a MIM-parts Kimber! Don't forget the several editions (blued, stainless, lightweight) of the Les Baer Stinger.
It has a 4 1/4" barrel, same as the Commander, and an Officer's Model sized frame, which aids concealment due to the shorter butt.
I carry mine daily.

The configuration is the same as the original Colt CCO, and I consider it an optimal 1911 format for CCW.

My Wilson CQB Compact is just one of the 4" Barrel Compacts that Wilson Combat offers with the Officer's length grip. Second time I posted a photo on this thread.

Kimber Pro Tac II SE (without the external extractor) . More recently, however, I have begun carrying this...

 

[techmike]

me too..

Carry either a 5" nork or a colt commander XS or a SA Champion. Those are the carry rotation anyway. You can't have too many 1911's.

 

[Zeke Menuar]

OK. Somebody asked for pictures. Here is my well worn Colt LW Commander. Worked over with all the usual mods. I have been carrying this gun since 1998.
