[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2812241, member: 15253"] Sorry for the short answer (I was goofing off on the work computer at the time). I had a Kimber Warrior that was a wonderful gun. Five inch barrel, steel frame, accurate, and reliable. Loved the gun, but it was a bit of a load to carry (worked quite well in the excellent Crossbreed Super Tuck holster, though). So, I bought a brand new 4 inch Kimber with the alloy frame as a potential carry gun. What a mistake!!! Called Kimber, got a new slide stop, still unreliable. Finally sold the dratted thing. After that, no more 1911's under 5 inches for me. All I've owned since then have been far more reliable than that Kimber Pro. The Crossbreed S/T is a fine holster for a 5 inch gun, as is the superb Milt Sparks Summer Special II. The key to comfortably carrying the full size 1911 is all about holster and belt selection. The butt of any gun is the hardest to conceal anyway, and an additional inch of slide/frame inside the pants makes little difference IMO. Good luck with yours! [/QUOTE]
