I like the 4.25 inch barrel only because I, at my weight, find the slightly shorter barrel easier to clear leather. That being said I do also carry full size, I wear a holster that allows more drop, usually under a large fishing shirt. So your body frame counts.....can you easily conceal a full size 1911?
Sure you can....cause the grip is the grip...it's the barrel length in question. Though you might want to try shooting a bobtail 1911...people love 'em and people hate 'em. If possible try both size guns out a little, try to get a grip on what works for you and your body type for comfort and concealability. My vote personally is full size. I believe that the shorter the barrel on a 1911 gets the gun has more reliability issues. The shorter barrel 1911's, in many models, went to the bull barrel setup due to reliability issues. I am all about reliability...full size.

Those are all nice options Jim. I don't have a P220 but I do have a CBOB and a CCO. It amazes me how much smaller the CCO feels in the holster. I guess of those 2 if I had to pick it would be the CCO.

My usual EDC is my nighthawk T-3, which has the 4.25 barrel and I also have CT grips on it most of the time.

My EDC is a CCO with Esmeralda slim grips. I also have 3", 3.5" compacts and full size governments in both 9 and 45. But I know the CCO hides well and is going to work if it's ever needed. Reliability issues? not in a Dan Wesson.

I like 220's. That said they are fat and heavy. I love my CBOBS. I love my CCO more.

Nice Chris, I fondled a Guardian today. I really like it. It will be a future purchase for sure.

For me it is the CCO all the way. Carry it in a Sparks VM2. Comfortable, accurate, reliable and COOL! I find the reduced grip length a big advantage in concealability.
