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.

Those are all nice options Jim. I don't have a P220 but I do have a CBOB and a CCO. It amazes me how much smaller the CCO feels in the holster. I guess of those 2 if I had to pick it would be the CCO.

My usual EDC is my nighthawk T-3, which has the 4.25 barrel and I also have CT grips on it most of the time.
