A bunch of us are doing our CC classes here at MAP in a couple weeks, so I'll be searching for a CC weapon here soon. I got my eye on a compact 1911, which some find too heavy to CC...but then again I'm 6'4", 230lbs, so I don't think I will notice it much.

Kahr's is an American company, owned by a Korean corporation. They're kind of the daewoo of guns. They're they work properly for a little while, then turn in to a huge pile. They're cheap for a reason.
A 1911 is a great design. However, keep in mind that there are A LOT of moving parts that need to be fit properly. If you're looking at a 1911 do a couple things, the first being shake it around! If you hear any rattle or clicking don't buy it, this means that the parts aren't fit together well. The other thing to check for is if the hammer hits your hand. Some 1911's have a larger, rounded guard, others have a shorter straight one. Rack it a few times with your full hand on it so you get a feel for where the hammer will go when it's back.
