Anything that one can carry without being over encombered is practical by my definition.
So if you can comfortably carry a full-size 1911 on your person everyday, then I say more power to you.
Folks often fail to consider the variables at play when it comes to EDC, namely weather/climate. Obviously folks in hotter States are going to be more comfortable carrying lighter firearms, whereas in colder States it's easier to carry heavier firearms, especially during Winter.
In your situation, I could see carrying a full-size 1911, but I'm not you. I recommend trying it out for yourself to see how it feels.
