I have carried a Ultra CDP II on and off for almost 10 years.... it's been the best pistol purchase I have ever made. As mentioned, some people say that any shortened 1911 will have issues... I agree that a higher percentage might but you can read about plenty of 5" guns that have stopped running as well. There are no guarantees that any particular gun will or won't run, regardless of size, make and model.

Having said that- I am still considering a XDs as a next purchase... the high triggerguard undercut makes it extremely comfortable and also allows me to get the rest of my little finger on the grip. The reviews have been pretty great on them and they are said to be soft shooting for the size and weight. I think the lack of a beavertail will also aide in carry comfort, especially if you carry any extra weight in the mid section.

Not trying to sway you either way, but if I were you, I would look at the XDs as well in your quest to obtain a small .45acp.
