Well lets see if it were me #1 Colt Defender, #2 Springfield EMP, #3 Para Warthog. Good luck.

Ya left out the Kimber eclipse Ultra
I vote for it cuz I have one and after about 300 rds(breakin) it hasnt missed a beat with WWB or the flying ashtrays I get called hollow points.

I would go with a S&W 1911PD if you like commander size,Springfield is great,I wouldn't buy Colt again. The Sprigfield EMP is really great if you want 9mm,Any Kimber is flawless also.

You didn't list S&W but I am with Drifter44 on the PD scandium Commander cause I got one.

I'd go for the CDP....nice carry guns.

Obviously I'm in the market for a compact 1911 .45

Let me know what you think of my narrowing down so far. Did I leave anything out? What would choose out of the list?

Would you consider the S&W 457? It's not a 1911 but I have one & it shoots & carries just fine...
