I carry a Colt 1991 Stainless. Get a good holster and a good belt and commit to carrying it. I use a Brommeland holster, a belt made custom locally, and a Fist mag carrier.
Full size 1911 carry not a problem. For OWB pay particular attention to getting a high quality carry rig and don't forget the good stiff gun belt.
It helps if the holster that you choose has some forward cant.
I won't get into what exact holster you should buy since there are so many great makers putting out super high quality daily carry rigs.
My most common daily carry rig, Wilson Combat CQB 5 inch w/ Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 horsehide/shark trim. Wilderness 5 stitch Instructor Belt and WRB pocket double magazine holder round it out.
Now that I have an officer's model I'll carry that on occasion, but mostly it's the 5" that gets the nod. The Hi Power's just about the size of a commander, just a different feel in the grip. Grip angle's just about the same as the 1911's.
