Subcompact 1911s

[neomedic]

What do you guys feel is a good subcompact 1911?

How does:

1) Colt Defender .45ACP (O7000D)
And how are the 90 series pistols...good?

2) Kimber Ultra CDP II


Any other good subcompact 1911 in .45ACP?

Para Nitehawg! 10rd mag +1 in the chamber. Really nice gun but really hard to find stuff for it like extended slide release, or grips. I sold it to get my reloading setup . I wouldnt get a sub compact to take to the range daily, unless you have a primary 1911 to take to the range.

Yeah...my primary 1911 is a Springfield Pro

Just wanted a "little brother" for the guy =)

I love my Wilson CQB and I imagine their compacts are just as nice.

I love my Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded Champion. Just the right size for me. I think if I went any smaller, it would kick like a mule.

Well, subcompact to me means it pretty much has to be a Defender or an EMP. A lot of folks seem to like the EMP quite a bit.

I own a 3" Kimber Ultra Carry but I've since come to believe that 4" is the sweet spot. That's why I bought a CCO format Kimber Compact CDP. It gives you the superior ballistics and reliability of a Commander with the compact frame of an Officer or Ultra.
