    45 ACP for year round CCW in CA?

    what're among the most reliable and very discreet 45 ACP pistol for CCW that's legal in CA? I don't want hoplophobes calling 911 on me from the "print" that may reveal what's being carried, IWB. I've heard rumors that 3" 45ACP 1911s are less reliable...is that true?

    What's most discreet and RELIABBLE (with factory 230 grain HPs) 45 ACP CCW pistol that's still fun to play in IDPA, in SA or SA/DA, that can be carried "cocked-and-locked"? I am comfortable with manual safety, since friends let me shoot their 1911s (S&W, SAI). I'm guessing a 4.25" barrel...

    45ACP pistols choices, for Condition 1?

    I know of Kimbers, Colts, Springfields, & ParaOrd 1911-style, but what other single action with manual safety 45ACP should we consider buying for a member of our family, for about $800~$1200? Didn't like the higher profile of a Sig Sauer 220: "Sits" taller than 1911 Kimbers. Like it to be...
