I have been looking for a CCW gun and I keep hearing how the slim 1911 hides well while the bulky XDs and Glocks do not. So I decided to try to find some numbers.
The first dimensions I could find on a 1911 came from Kimber's website and it listed the Custom II (first one I came to) with a width of 1.28".
Then I found the dimensions for the Glock 17 and XD 9 (from Glock's website and a review of the XD I found, don't have the link) which listed the width of both pistols as 1.18".
Now I'm confused...Does Kimber just make a fat 1911?
Are these frame, slide, or grip widths?
Can someone please show me to the light? Thanks
