Did you ever consider a Commander Model 1911? I’m in a suit most of the time; jeans and a sport coat otherwise. The 5” is a big handgun to conceal, as is my 226. I don’t have a CCP year, but I’m in a must-issue state.

Colt’s American Classic Commander is a real beauty, and I shot it at the range, along with several other .45s, before trying the Kimber.

Once I fired the 5” Eclipse Target II, I was hooked and have bought it, the 5” Stainless Custom TLE II and the 5” Gold Match II.

Kimber also makes a line of smaller 1911, compact-carry models you should look at:

I have no problem concealing any of my 5” 1911s in their Galco FED212 Paddle Holsters, under my suits or sports coats:

I use 230gr HPs in Wilson Combat Mags, plus have an extra 2-mag Galco paddle carrier:
