Deciding between this one or the Pro CDP is a daily grind.

May I suggest you check out the Glock-36. Single stack subcompact .45ACP that conceals easily and is arguably the most accurate Glock in the bunch. I have five of them and it out shoots all my others. It conceals easily IWB OWB or under your arm.

I carried the Glock 23 compact .40 S&W for years until I got the 36.

I went to my wife's company picnic today. It was at a lake so I wore shorts and a tee shirt.

I also had a Kimber Pro Carry II in a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2. With a decent belt and holster, you can carry a 1911 pretty much anywhere you wish.

Okay, all of my carry weapons are 45's except my pocket carry P3AT.
I have a full size Glock 21, 4- 1911's, an XD45, and a S&W625. depending on my situation for dress, one of them is always with me.

What I'm getting to here is any weapon of choice can be concealed. You just have to alter yor way of dress or meathod of carry.

By the way, the G21 is my every day work carry.

It does carry easily. i have the one with nite sights and crimson trace. The laser grips add a little to the width but not much. I also picked up Pro Carry CDP II and it conceals well but I can tell the length difference. Not used to having something long in my pants...wait a minute.. I mean..never mind.

I like Flatland's choice: Kimber Ultra Carry II stainless with night sights. My carry is an Ultra CDP and I've decided it's just about the perfect piece for me, except that, in hindsight, I think I would prefer not to have the ambidextrous safety.

I put Chip McCormick slim-line grips on mine--which removes a little thickness IWB--and not having the ambi safety would also remove that tiny 1/4" bump. But it still absolutely vanishes under most clothing. I carry it in a Comp-Tac CTAC slide, and the barrel length is perfect for that holster; comes within 1/8" of the bottom of the Kydex. Some folks have comfort issues with the CTAC, but after very minimal Dremel work mine is quite comfortable for all-day carry.
