If you're comfortable with the 1911 and it's home defense there's no need to change, they're a bit to heavy and bulky for CC. The 230 gr HP ammo is normally subsonic and over penetration isn't a major problem. I don't recommend semi-autos for anyone but experienced gun people for self defense unless they're prepared to spend a lot of time and money mastering it. I'm taking it you're experienced with military service so 1911 all the way !

I have my grandpa's 1911. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't carry it all the time, but I have, and never had any problem with it's weight or bulk.

Fun fact.... I let it make a lil noise at about 3 in the morning this past summer. Some tweaker was trying to steal my neighbor's downspouts. It was funnier than hell watching that douchebag run back to his truck.
