1911- Springfield, Colt, Kimber, NOT Taurus, take your pick.
Nice and slim so it doesn't "print" against your shirt.
I don't really like the feel of the grip safety but being able to walk around with the manual safety off and not having to worry about blowing a hole in my leg makes up for it.
Let me guess? You carry with the hammer down, too? You are supposed to have it loaded, the safety on and hammer back in carry mode (cocked and locked)...not supposed to just rely on the grip safety!
If you don't believe me, go ask some experts on 1911 forums...but I urge you to look into it.
