That is one model I looked at. I love the 1911 style, but they seem like they could be bulky to carry. I am not a big guy at about 5'8" and 170lb. I handled one of THESE and Loved it. I really like the bobtail.

This is the key...

Width (inches): 1.28

1911s are slim and easy to carry with an IWB (Inside the Waist Band) holster. You don't have to be huge to carry them, especially the shorter barrel models (3.5-4.25 inch barrels).

If I was going to buy another one it would be the CDP Pro (4.25 inch barrel).

I love the "melted" look they have. No sharp edges, all corners smoothed/rounded. Makes for no snags when drawing. Plus it has an aluminum alloy frame with a satin (low-gloss) stainless steel slide, Tritium 3-dot night sight, an ambi-safety, and weighs only 28oz. They can be had for much less than the MSRP of $1318.
