Looking to buy my first 1911 and plan to use it for CC. I have only shot a full size 1911's but I think I'm hooked. I know I would rather not carry a full size and definitely stick with the .45 round. Was first looking for a 3 inch barrel but came across the STI Guardian which is just under 4 inches and have seen lots of good thing written about STI. Does anyone have experience with this particular gun?
As of right now I have been leaning to STI (guardian/Escort), but also have considered Kimbers and Colt (defender). I have had my hands on the defender and some of the kimbers but haven't got the chance to handle the smaller STI pistols.
Any feedback on the companies or using a 1911 as a carry weapon would be great.
