I like the 4.25 inch barrel only because I, at my weight, find the slightly shorter barrel easier to clear leather. That being said I do also carry full size, I wear a holster that allows more drop, usually under a large fishing shirt. So your body frame counts.....can you easily conceal a full size 1911?
Sure you can....cause the grip is the grip...it's the barrel length in question. Though you might want to try shooting a bobtail 1911...people love 'em and people hate 'em.
If possible try both size guns out a little, try to get a grip on what works for you and your body type for comfort and concealability.
My vote personally is full size. I believe that the shorter the barrel on a 1911 gets the gun has more reliability issues. The shorter barrel 1911's, in many models, went to the bull barrel setup due to reliability issues. I am all about reliability...full size.
