Thanks everyone for your responses. I've been reading a lot of people saying that newbies to CC want something small and easy to conceal, and I guess I've fallen into that. I'm just not sure how comfortable it would be to wear my XD .40 4" service model when compared to a single-stack 1911.
I think I'm convinced to stick with a 4" version, and I've experienced slide-bite with my little .380 junk gun - I imagine hammer bite is equally unpleasant! I'm definitely not opposed to used... Thanks for the excellent responses.

Advice needed on Springfield 1911 3" models
Aside from the obvious stainless difference, what other major differences are there between these two Springers? Obviously the Stainless is the newer design, but would the GI make a good, reliable, safe concealed carry firearm for a newbie to 1911's? I apologize if this has been discussed - I wasn't really sure what to search for. I would love the Stainless version, but my budget won't really allow it right now unless I sell a ton of stuff...
