not at all. I am by no means a big man 5'9" 175lbs (should probably be 155lbs though) and i carry a commander sized gun concealed all the time. the key is that you MUST have a good belt and holster. I can carry wearing shorts and an untucked T shirt and no one knows

If this wasnt a double stack it would be my most perfect dream gun


I am also 5'9" I carry a full size 1911 with an extra mag...a good holster and belt its a MUST as trapperjohn mentioned. I use the following, it was made by Milt Sparks, they take a few weeks to make their stuff as everything is hand made. I also use one of their belts, its so comfortable I often cannot even feel the gun when Im carrying:

I have the same carry gear that Josh does, a Milt sparks Versa max II (VM2) and a milt sparks belt.
You can get them quicker at lighteningarms.com. Milt sparks himself usually has a couple months backlog

Good luck if your a lefty like me lol I had to order from Sparks!

That's some nice hardware and accessories. Josh, you duty weapon is sweet. I'm curious why you don't like a double stacked mag. Is there a reliability issue or is it ergonomics? I've got fairly small hands so any semi-auto with a fat grip is not going to work for me.

I envy you all that are from states that allow concealed carry. Here in California, it's getting more and more difficult to even own a firearm.
