I wont go any smaller than commander size, but that is just me. Can you make a 3 1/2 or 3 inch gun run, of course! But I prefer the 5 or 4 1/4 inch.

Yeah, I had a compact (3.5") Rock Island a year or two back, and it seemed to do good but I honestly didn't shoot it a whole lot. I really believe this commander size Ruger is lighter than the officer sized RI though.
Where did you find this at?
I wanted a solid Commander size 1911 with an aluminum frame for carry, but have not found anything I like better than what I have. I know there is a lot of Kimber hate out there so I am not expecting a lot of "oohs and ahhs" but here is mine. I replaced a lot on it and had it coated at Harsh, and it is 100% reliable.

I have nothing against Kimber and Springfield except the Firing pin safety on some models and the fact that their Commanders are four inch not 4 1/4.
Got this from a family friend that owns a little at home shop down around Beaumont, TX, had it shipped to local FFL here in Elk City. He had another there as well, if you want I can give you his info, just PM me.
I know some guys that carry a fullsize 1911, I think holster choice is a big factor in what size gun you can carry/conceal, whether with 1911's or any other brand/type. Body size/shape will come into play as well. I don't have a holster for this one yet, but will be ordering mine from Simply Rugged shortly!
Went and ran another 150 rounds through the Ruger this afternoon, puts me at 200 now. This is a "rapid fire" target, 3 mags (21 rounds), @ 3-5 yards.
This is 11 rounds "slow fire" @ approximately 7 yards.
My reloads (200 gr RN Xtreme plated bullets over Bullseye) shoot low, but they seem to in all my 1911's. Very happy so far, and I know that I do shoot a 1911 better than my snubby revolvers when going "rapid fire" at self defense distances. Probably upgrade to night sights and maybe a little "going over" on the trigger by a smith and have it just to my liking!
