If I were going to EDC a 1911, then I would want it to be something compact and relatively lightweight like a Kimber Pro Carry II or Ruger Lightweight Commander.
Currently, the only 1911 I have is this...
Obviously, this is a bit too flashy for carry.

None, not when I have double-action pistols available. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Say you're a Glock guy without saying you are a Glock guy...
Ha, I see that you caught on that I was satirically poking fun at the true 1911 connoisseurs.
OP
Well thanks everyone for the various inputs...my original post was really in thinking about ease of carry (loaded weight) and accuracy...I don't need a .45 for PD...9mm if fine....I talking carry 7 days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day most of time....
The longer the time, the more the differences in weight and size can become apparent. For 1911's, have heavy belt with hd suspenders. During warmer periods, the 3 in ultra carry at 3 o'clock in a FBI cant hybrid iwb holster that really spreads the weight out, and counter balanced by one mag weak side. This keeps it tight to side, and more easily concealed. A standard 1/2 loop belt holster just didn't cut it for my my needs.
For cooler temps, same set up but with 5 in barrel in lightweight commander frame offset by 2 mags off side. Tried a full size steel frame once, and that was enough.
Don't think the above would work out for me in Florida
