I routinely rotate between 1911s with the following barrel lengths: 3.5 inch and a 5 inch. I will this week add (Once its broken in) a 4 inch gun to my rotation. There are only two factors that concern me with carrying a 1911, the length of the grip and the weight. Now my 3.5 inch 1911 better fits me because it is lighter and has a shorter grip than my 5 inch 1911s however my new 4 inch gun is better in regards to weight (AL frame) but has the same length grip as the five inch gun. Once I've carried for a bit I will let you know what I think of it in relation to my other 1911s for concealed carry. For the record I carry IWB so barrel length really doesn't bother me.
