Exactly.... That's why I have a Para Ordnance P13 (12 rounds +1 in the chamber). The P13 is a copy of the legendary Colt Commander style 1911. It's got a wide grip (double stack magazine) and with the 4 1/4" barrel, it is just right. Not too big to conceal, and not too small to be able to control easily.

Edit: Besides... This is a solid steel handgun. Steel frame, steel slide, steel barrel. Even though it's a 4 1/4" size "combat commander" style 1911, it is a heavy beast that packs a mighty punch! [8D]
