Agreed, and in some cases the difference in thickness is negligible.Kalrog wrote:I have an LDA as a carry gun - half the capacity of the one you are looking at - and I love it. The double stack is done well on the 14-45 and it really isn't that thick. Good manufacturer and great trigger. Enjoy.
Here is my P-13 compared to a Kimber Ultra Carry II.
Overall width is identical (although the UC's grip tapers). In terms of concealment the two would fair about the same.
The Ultra Carry could be fitted with aftermarket grips that are thinner...thus giving it the edge, but as it comes from the factory...it's pretty thick. With that in mind, I'll take the additional rounds afforded by the Para every time.
