A few "Standard" questions if you don't mind.
Does it shoot +P?
Is it effective against Bears?
Can you carry it inside the waist band?
Yes but they call it Zone 8 Red Bag instead of +P
Never tried it on a bear but I saw it take out an entire herd of wild hogs with 1 shot in Germany. Stripes were lost over that.
No. It's definitely designed for open carry.

First, I'll sidestep the CC black hole. After that it's a Ginger / Maryanne thing. Which one would I want to look at and fondle? Gin.....the mod 57 no dash four inch. Which one is comfortable and gives me a warm fuzzy? Colt 1911.

I have some really nice S&W revolvers. 19, 66, 14, 15, 17, 629, 36, 31, 34
Per the criteria stated by OP, I must go with Glock 43.

I have tried many, and keep coming back to my M60-15.
A good compromise between concealability and function. Fits my hand well, and is the gun I practice the with the most. Buffalo Bore 158 gr "FBI" load in cylinder, and their 158 gr "Outdoorsman" in the speed strip.
Best,
Rick

I have not yet found my perfect handgun. However, the best overall pistol for me at this time is my Colt Lightweight Commander in 45ACP. I am just more accurate and consistent with it. That said, I am left handed, and one thing I require on my 1911's (and always add) is an ambi safety. It is something i would like to see as standard from the factory.
A close second is my M&P40 Full Size, which may at times overtake the 1911 (I seriously have been having a hard time deciding between the two lately).
FWIW, I started with a 3" K frame Model 65, and have a soft spot for K frame .357's. They are a #1 nostalgic choice, and still quite capable. I have at times thought about getting rid of all my auto's and going back to a 3" K in .357. Second on the nostalgia scale would be the 3rd gen S&W pistols. They are some of the best auto's out there IMO. I hope to find a 4006 TSW that I can purchase one day.
YMMV,
