Nice piece. I'm 5'7", and carry this Kimber in a Fobus OWB, Galco IWB, and Galco jackass rig, depending on weather/wardrobe/destination:

Better yet, check out the slim hawg, a nice thin single-stack. That’s what I carry... I’ts half the size of my p229 (although heavier). Some don’t like the fact they only have 6 rounds, but I see I see it this way, I should only need one, two tops.
At home in bed, I sleep with a H&K USP .45 on the nightstand (I may need more ammo in the dark!)

One thing should be noted, I had reliability problems with the slim at first, but a 3 day stayover at the local custom shop solved that. Haven’t had a jam or malfunction in almost 500 rounds since then. Needed a little work on the ramp / eject port and mags. Too bad I spent that much on a handgun then needed to tweek it, but damn it’s a fine weapon now.
Heres a good photo og it:

Note: The photo on that link is excellent, the price however, is not. You can find them quite a bit less pricy elsewhere.
