Okay, before I get the usual response, let me say that I am fully aware that the decision on which gun to buy should be based upon intended use. That having been said, here is my problem. I really want a CQB to round out my 1911 collection. I carry everyday with my police department and have several compact Baers, Colts, Para's and Kimbers. However, aside from departmental qualifications, most of my shooting is at a local range with my full size versions of guns from the same manufacuters. While at the range, I am more interested in pin point accuracy and shooting comfort than I am in carry comfort. Therefore, the difference between a gun guaranteed to shoot 1.5 inch groups at 25 yards and one that shoots 1.0 inch groups is a consideration. I like my compacts, but I have always shot much better with a full size 1911 and have, on some occasions carried a full size with no problem. I'd like to hear from some CQB owners about their preference between the two models and their shooting impressions with regard to accuracy and recoil of each pistol. I hope this is not asking too much.
