Better EDC?

[Jdl2]

Which do you think is the better choice for EDC: Dan Wesson CCO, Dan Wesson Guardian (45) or Sig P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO?
Thx,
Jim

I'd be partial to the fullsize Wesson. Not a fan of Officer sized pistols. Course, I don't like bobtails, either. Kinda like a girl with one bo*b...I like girls with both

I bought a CBOB in 09.. If I was doing it today I'd pick the Guardian.. I even think after 43 yrs of .45 1911s I'd pick the 9mm for my EDC.

I'd like to find that girl from Total Recall with the three (.)(.)(.)!!!!

OP, I think it will come down to what is more comfortable to EDC for you. Personally, the CCO gets my vote (although I don't own one now).

Of those three, I'd go with the CCO. If you're going to downsize from a Govt model you might as well do it right. It's the grip that will make the gun print during CC, and a compact frame 1911 hides really well.

Family reunions

Any weapon is better than no weapon. I carry a Vbob which and think is broken.

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.

I'll keep an eye out Jim.

If the shooter's hands are of average or smaller size, the CCO is outstanding.

If huge mitts are part of the equation, then the Guardian will work very well.

Every single person that handles or shoots my CCO is awestruck by it.

I used to have a P220, but the CCO is dramatically easier to carry, either in a VMII or CrossBreed SuperTuck.
