I carry a 5" 1911 80% of the year in Ohio and use an XD SC .40 during the hottest days.
But a 3" 1911 would work just as well.
A CW45 or especially the PM45 would be my second choice.
To show you how well my 5" conceals my RO at the local DNR range could not even tell i was carrying when i pulled it out to shoot on the pistol range.
So if a guy like that cant tell, No one can.
When i get enough $$$ for the PM45 or Colt New Agent i want ill carry a .45 year round.
The XD was just a stepping stone until i can get one of those.
