Who's got something along the lines of what I described in the title? I want a CCW auto. I currently own a G21 (doublestack and huge), a 1911 (don't like cocked-and-locked carry IWB... the hammer and beaver tail pinch me), and an XD9 (okay to carry, but 9mm instead of .45acp).
I want something a tad smaller than the XD9, dimensions that matter most to me are width of slide and length of grip. 3.5-4.0 inch barrel preferred.
I want single-stack. Capacity doesn't matter so much, and mag interoperability doesn't matter at all.
This is what I know of so far that is non-1911, what else is out there?
Glock 36 (good, but thinking about getting away from Glock entirely)
ParaOrdnance LDA-CCO (leader, but expensive)
Taurus 745 (short barrel and ugly)
Sig 220DAK (wide, tall, long and expensive... probably too big)
PS: 1911 fans -
I'm with you. I like my 1911. Openly in a holster, it's a great gun. But I don't like what the beaver tail safety and hammer do when carried IWB. Especially if I bend sideways or sit down. They are accurate and reliable. But I don't find them comfortable. Hammer down, hammer up, small or extended beavertail, I don't like concealing them. As such, I am not considering a single-action 1911 at this time, but ParaOrdnance LDA still sits high on my list.
