I don't own a 1911 yet, but really want to get one as my next addition. I currently have a Ruger SR40 and a Springfield XDm 9mm. The 1911 is going to be the 3rd and last purchase for some time to come, so I thought about getting it in the Commander (ie, Colt or the new Ruger if I could find one).

My question is, is a 1911 Carry size a good weapon to carry or would I be better off buying a different carry gun? I know there are a lot of opinions and it comes down to personal preference, but I'm curious if there are any big reasons for or against.

Thanks!
