Looking at the site you provided, and the caliber you seem to favor. This looks promising, but you sacrifice a few rounds (4 to be specific) http://www.budsgunsh...uble Action Pi/ It's lighter and an all metal pistol. A lil smaller too.

If you could slide on roughly 30 dollars on your base price, I could suggest this http://www.budsgunsh...B .45acp Black/ It's a full size, but also .45ACP. Weights more, 10+1. Hi-Power and 1911s are WELL known to be great concealed carry pistols, and the CZ-75 platform pistols are just about the best of both worlds.

An even cheaper route is to get one of the EAA CZ-75 platform pistols, they have polymer and steel. Some of the polymers are bellow.

In .45ACP: http://www.budsgunsh.../Polymer Frame/

In .40S&W: http://www.budsgunsh.../Polymer Frame/

and the beefy 10mm: http://www.budsgunsh... Grip/Blue Fin/

As you might know, the .40S&W was developed directly from the 10mm with assistance from the FBI. 10mm has a harder kick to it as it has a slightly longer case, and is seen by many as superior to both the .45 and the .40.

Get the RIA/Armscore and never look back. Their QC has improved plenty over the years, and its well worth the asking price. Otherwise try and find a Springfield GI (Bud's is out of stock it appears), or possibly a Loaded for the next tier up on 1911's.

If you're branching away from the M&P, don't bother with the XD.

Can't say the polymer CZ's are all that amazing, but their 97 and 75 are really sweet guns.

As someone who carries a sidearm for his job (ATFP Camp Pendleton) here's the real deal with buying one.

Get the one that feels most comfotable. The more you enjoy holding a pistol, the more you'll enjoy shooting it. The more you shoot it, the more accurate you'll become.

Don't fall into the common trap that bigger is better, forget that noise. For you, the perfect weapon is

I have been using a full sized pistol for over a year. I'm use to them. Handling a1911 was very comfortable in my hands. I do open carry outings too.

9mm is out because winter reasons also don't like the caliber for other reasons. (also use to a .40)

I have cc my m&p in the house with little problem. Just needed a baggier shirt and waistband holster.

When I'm in my truck it's in the center console.

Bumping up to $700 because buds apparently adds the taxes into the main price and they give me a further discount ontop of that.

Carry and home defense is the point.

From Springfield Armory GI 1911s

I dunno why they don't sell them together though.

From Kimber:

Marine Corps: http://store.kimbera...70/Default.aspx

Air Force: http://store.kimbera.../2/Default.aspx

Plain Double Diamond: http://store.kimbera.../2/Default.aspx

In all honesty, the original platform for the GI is brown plastic. And here is a site that sells vintage GI issue 1911 grips.

http://www.simpsonlt...3486a95723a4f41

For 15 bucks a pair too. (Yeah, I know the Auto Ordinance has brown plastic and the last link is pretty much the same thing. But those are still a consideration as they hold some historical value to them. At least to me.)

For the record, AlumaGrips is the place I worked with to get the custom Ordo Imperialis grips for Aryte's Birthday. If you want the ability to customize your grip to your liking (thickness, checkering style, checkering depth, engraving/etching, colors) they are pretty bad ass.

When it comes to classic arms I prefer wood. But that's me. Also the slide has "MODEL 1911A1 U.S. ARMY". So having U.S. or Army insignia on the grips will set it the way I think would look nice. I'm not exactly tactical. So all these modern grips are not exactly to my liking on a classic firearm.

Also thanks for the links guys. Was looking for a few hours at work. :p
