I have shot a number of 1911s over the years but am just now planning to purchase my own. Interests for use: IDPA, target, CCW. I currently carry a Glock 26 and that's fine for me. However, if I begin doing IDPA, I really want to use a 1911. My question: Do I go with a full frame (5" barrel) 1911, or should I settle for a compact that I could also use for concealed carry? What are the pros/cons of full-size 1911 -vs- compact? Also, any suggestions on make/model.
Thanks Much!!!
Randy
