I carry a 1911 now. Actually I carry one of two, either a full sized and heavy steel framed 5" govt. model, or a light and handy 4" barreled, alloy framed Colt CCO. I really love the CCO but it's getting old and I hate to think about what I'd do if it broke. I wouldn't like carrying the heavy Govt. model all the time. So I'm thinking about getting an additional gun for a CCW. Now, I know there are other 1911s out there that are the same size as the CCO, but I'd like to open my mind to other possibilities.
Are there any other comparable guns in .40S&W or 45ACP? It would have to have at least a 4" barrel, be about 1" thick, expecially in the handgrip area (No double stack mags, I have a CZ40 which would be perfect except that it's too fat), short grip would be a plus(Colt CCO uses a 6 or 7 round Officer's mag) and it would have to weigh under 30 oz. The CCO has an SA trigger of course, but I wouldn't mind a DA or DA/SA.
