Assume you need an ultra compact 1911: Would you pick the Wilson Combat Sentinel or the Les Baer Stinger -- and why?

In this case I would go with the BAER.

The WILSON SENTINEL has too short of a barrel in a 45 AUTO for my tastes. Now if your talking one of the WILSON COMBAT compact models (i.e. CQB compact, PROTECTOR compact, or STEALTH models) then it is WILSON COMBAT hands down!

The Baer Stinger is NOT an ultra compact gun. It is a Commander size slide (4 3/8) with and officers size frame (6 or 7 shot capacity). The dimensions and capacity compare with the Colt Concealed Officers if you remember that gun.

The Wilson Sentinal is an ultra compact gun with a 3.5 inch tapered and thinned slide and a one bullet shorter than officers frame with an only six shot capacity with thin grips only and non ambi safety only.

A comparable gun in size and capacity is the Compact series whether Millenium, CQB, or Protector.

Be safe and keep the brass flying

If you are looking for an ultra compact 45, I'd suggest looking at the Glock 36.

6+1 capacity, and polymer construction with slim profile (not like other Glocks). At $500+/-, a capable and reliable carry gun.

That's the first mention of Glock I think I've ever seen on this forum

I looked at the G36 earlier this year (needed a walking the dog gun

) but I didnt really care for it, the grip felt funny and the trigger let off with a heavy, mushy "SPROINK!". I handed it back to my dealer. Its a Baer Stainless Stinger for me!
