Hey all,
I have noticed that there are quite a few 1911 owners out there with what I would call carry pistols that are between 5.25 and 5.5 inches tall. For example:

The only pistol I have that is near this height seem too tall to carry concealed. It seems that the height (from top of slide to bottom of magazine) would be critical in determining the carryability of a pistol.
So, do you carry a full sized framed 1911, or have you opted for the smaller (4.75") "compact" frame? Opinions?
Thanks for your input...
