Choice of carry weapon (Vanity post, but soliciting opinions!)

[Chasaway]

I'm about to buy another handgun, primarily for concealed carry/personal protection. I live in Texas, have a concealed carry license and want a handgun I can keep on me pretty much all of the time, probably around my waist somewhere. There are some serious gun nuts that cruise these threads and I want to draw from your experience to make the best pick.

For a little help, I've used the Colt 1911 in .45 and .38 Super and loved the gun. I also really like my Baby Eagle in .45. The primary reason I like these two is the single-action trigger pull (well...I also really, really like the accuracy of my Baby Eagle). But they're both too big and too heavy for the carry weapon I'm looking for. I'm kind of leaning towards the Glock 27 (.40 cal) or its .45 caliber twin. My reservation is the trigger pull. I'd also be interested in a smaller version of the 1911 if I could find it in a smaller, easier-to-conceal size and was confident of its reliability.

Matter of fact, I wouldn't be opposed to a wheel gun, if it had the stopping power and concealability I'd like.

I know there's no way folks can know what I would like/feel comfortable with personally, but I'd really appreciate reading a discussion on it.

That is, if you don't mind giving your opinions about guns again.

And I know I prolly won't get any responses to this...'cause gun people don't really have any strongly held beliefs about their guns. And even if they do, they don't like talking about 'em.

That's a good 'nuf reason for me.
