Concealed Carry (CHL), anyone?

Darn it!  Why are avatars so SMALL!?!

Here's a pretty cool little animation showing the assembly of a M1911. The animation of the firing mechanics towards the end is a great visualization of the inner workings.

Cool 1911 video.

That was a really cool video. I have a Kimber stainless Goldmatch and love it! Looking to buy a smaller Kimber soon.

Im thinking of getting the RCP II for carry purposes to replace my lost USP 

[♣ McKraut ♣]

i like the aesthetics of the USP much better over the RCP.  and most glocks even more so....  or is that like telling a wine connoisseur that i like merlot?

The RCP has been trim way down for concealed carry... Snag free with .45 knock down power

Anything with the name Kimber on it is gonna be great!
Glocks are probably one of the best made handguns in the world. Extremely reliable and easy to use. Only thing I have with them is I think they are kinda ugly and they feel kind of unbalanced if its your first gun. Accuracy is dead on with the ones I've tried.
I've also owned Para Ordinance LDA's and they aren't too shabby either. I used to have the P10 Night Hog.... a totally black double stacked micro 1911. It was very intimidating to shoot due to it's tiny size, but it was small enough to conceal if you have the body shape. With my skinny butt, it made me look like I had a tumor on my side.

I had been carrying a Kimber Pro Covert II (4 inch) but unfortunately and against one of my own personal rules I had to sell it. I am looking to get another soon. It was heavy and some what bulky but I could carry it without any problem, even in shorts and a t-shirt so I imagine the RCP will be very easy to conceal. For now though, my trusty old Glock 23 is in the service and as you said those things are as solid as it gets  . If your a 1911 fan check out the TRP, this thing is so sweet... I may have to skip the RCP and get one of them instead!

Nah, they are all fine tools that will do the job. Its what works best for you, I can shoot my USP better than my Kimber but I can shoot my glock better than the Kimber and the USP. Although having/wanting/pining for a Kimber is kinda like being into Italian motorcycles or something  and Kimbers are not even the top of the list as far as HIGH end 1911's go.
