Re: 1911 question
I carry both a 3" and a 5" 1911. I carry the smaller gun most days, and only occasionally carry the larger one. However, that is more a factor of weight than length — the one being not only smaller, but having an alloy frame, while the larger pistol has a steel frame. As far as concealment goes, I carry the smaller pistol in both IWB and OWB holsters, so concealment is not a problem. I only carry the 5" gun in an OWB holster, which does hold the gun close to the body, but I have to wear shirts with longer tails to conceal it because of the pistol's length.
