I guess the conscious is the bob-tail is ok. I t has just about come down to that or a Para LDA of which I know nothing about except I like the LDA on the small 45 par 6+1 very slim and you don't have to darry it in condition one and it is slim..Any more advice is welcome. I have been a SW and Colt person for 40+ years just seem strange to wonder off the path. But even old dogs can learn new tricks, I hope. the Para would be easier for CCW but the prices are close to even, give or take a hundred. Keep the advice coming.....Thanks
