I carry any one of my 3 Kimber 5” 1911.45cal ACPs (each has their own holster) in a Galco FED212 Paddle Holster:

That’s what I like the idea of. 5” 1911 in .45ACP. Had good luck with Kimbers and one Dan Wesson I received as a (very nice) gift.
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.
