62 6"1" 200#. I now carry a colt compact 45acp condition 1. EVERY DAY! Unless I'm at work! They won't allow it. Currently I would not carry anything less! Carried everything thing from 38 to 44mag. The compact is too heavy (45oz fully loaded) and I'm looking to buy a Kimber custom carry. If it's too heavy you wont carry it!
If the weight of a Compact 1911 is an issue for you, perhaps you should consider a Glock or an M&P. They are very effective, extremely reliable tools which, while not as charming as a 1911, are arguably equally as capable (if not more so) due to capacity and reliability. I sure do love my 1911's and I'm a major 1911 fan, with a sizable investment in them, but if I expect to have to fight with a pistol, I'm more likely to select a platform with greater capacity.
