Isn't that the great thing about the 1911 you can change out , or add on until you make it like you like it .

Try the Para Ordnance P12, it's small enough for regular size hands, even when it's a double stacked frame, I have what I consider regular size hands and I love the feeling of that little gun in my hands..
My wife is 5'4 kind off petite and she can shoot it comfortable.
I carry this pistol every day, and fully loaded, actually I carry 13 rounds, one on the chamber all the time, and doesn't feel heavy and it's easy to conceal..
This model is now discontinued but you can still find them..
Good luck in your search for the right .45
Merry Christmas!!

Okay, okay so my wife has been teasing me about this thread ever since I started it. Now I guess I know why. she has been sitting on my Christmas present for about a month

Try both configurations of the 1911, some like the GI model with short trigger and rounded mainspring housing, others like the long trigger with flat mainspring housing. For a different platform, what about the EAA Witness? It's a steel framed 45, otherwise the Beretta PX4 full size in 45, or the Jericho/IMI 45 could fit the bill too.
Oops, just saw your last post. Congrats on your new 1911!
I can't tell from the pictures if the mainspring housing is curved or flat. If it's curved, and you find it difficult to get a grip, switch it out for a flat one. Sometimes, just that little bit of "slimming" will make a world of difference in how it feels and how well you can grip it.

And I'm old school too. I feel more comfortable with a metal gun with wood grips in my hand.
I worked as a peace officer for an agency that voted which gun should be the Dept. issued firearm. The Glock came in dead last. We got Glocks because they were the cheapest. The policy allowed us to buy our own duty guns, which we did. The saying about Glocks was they couldn't give them away.
Hey congratulations on your new 1911
kids that hunt and fish dont mug old ladies
Nice new 1911. Go shoot that thing!
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
Took it out yesterday afternoon and I love it. It's a real shooter. Now to get a good mould and start throwing some boolits down range.

Me, too. I wouldn't feel UNarmed with a Glock, especially one in .45 ACP. But I'd rather have my 1911A1.I'm just old school :wood and metal:
