Re: 1911: Compact vs Full Size

My 5" Springfield and my 4" Kimber have the same size grip.

My 3" Kimber does have a shorter grip (by 1 round).

The weight is slightly different. The best thing I find is the shorter barrel is easier to carry especially if you have an IWB.

If the grip is very important, ensure that any model you get that's shorter has a full size grip.
