Like the OP I routinely carry all three sizes of 1911 IWB, either in a Milt Sparks Summer Special or VMII. My 3" Kimber goes well in a good quality Kydex rig when IWB.
I also have a 3-inch M65-5 that I have been carrying in a VMII. I'm really trying to like that combination. It's OK, but nothing I have ever carried IWB is as comfortable as a 1911 (although a CZ75 is close) in Milt Sparks leather. Still haven't found the right place on my waist for the M65, 'cause the cylinder is fatter than the 1911's slide,. Contrary to one post above, the cylider does indeed ride at belt level in the VMII, not above it. (See photo).
I like my Smiths, but shoot 1911's better than revolvers, so the pistols almost always get the nod over the revolvers. I always use an excellent pistol belt. I 'm 6-feet and usually weigh someplace between 205 and 215.
