I carry a 4" 1911, and I have done so for over 30 years. The platform is flat, and stays close to me..... I'm 6'1", and 215lbs. In Indiana, I may carry openly, so I really don't care if someone sees it. It's almost always covered but it may print a bit..... no big deal. The biggest reason I carry it is because I'm proficient with it, and I"m very used to it.

That being said, it all boils down to personal preference.....
