I'm just curious how you carry it that the extra 1/2" in barrel length makes a difference and the grip (which is the hardest part for me to conceal) doesn't.

If they carry IWB, every bit helps, not to mention that womens clothes fit a little more snug than ours. It helps when they have less barrel to try and stuff in their pants.

If the slide is too long it gets very uncomfortable.

The last one is a 3" 1911, you can see it's still darn big...

Wasn't a fan of the micro's until I shot one.
SA micro (steel frame) w/night sights.
Was more comfortable than I expected and dead on (at 21' anyway).

Herknav, my right front trousers/jeans pocket, it will not work with tight trousers. Were you a Navigator on 130's. My nephew Chris was a Nav in the USMC on 130's.
