We now have open carry in Oklahoma. Size doesn’t matter anymore!
My daily carry is a Glock 23, loaded with Speer 165 grain Gold Dot JHPs, in a Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe. Great gun in a great holster.
I carry any one of my 3 Kimber 5” 1911.45cal ACPs (each has their own holster) in a Galco FED212 Paddle Holster:

Bump!
Probably going 1911, just don't know how small, or sticking with my Sig 229 for 'small'. Rather shoot the 226 or 220.
There are few bad guns, but I don't 'feel' Glocks.
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.
I take it you're comfortable with the molded holster touching only where the trigger guard meets the frame. Doe it feel secure or does it move in the holster?
Fobus Holsters are good for IDPA and other related competitions, but there are numerous videos out there of them being ripped off of a persons belt. I perosnally prefer CompTac products, their products are first class, customer service is exemplary, and they support the shooting community in numerous ways throughout the country.
Just my two cents worth.
After a number of other trials, I finally settled a year ago on this one for my Ed Brown Cobra Carry 1911. Being totally satisfied, I don’t think I’ll ever need another.

I like my pocket holster my S&W .380.
My Florida Concealed Weapons Permit Gun Course instructor had the best idea I’ve come across.
He wears loose-fitting cargo pants. His cocked Glock goes in his deep right-hand pocket.
It can’t be seen. (The multiple pockets of cargo pants hide the bulge nicely.) It’s a natural move to put your hand in your pocket - the bad guy thinks you’re getting your wallet.
It’s also very comforting to be able to feel your weapon against your thigh.
Most of my casual pants are now cargo pants.
Fobus is awesome. Check them out.
Bookmarking for home.
I’m looking for an under-the-bosom concealed holster for women, so far unsuccessfully.
Any suggestions. And yes, it is a small automatic. (The weapon had to be small as my hands are the size of an average 10-year old.)
Anyone ever use a Remora No Clip Holster? I’m looking at that right now.
