a Kimber CDPII with the 3 in barrel. I only shoot FMJ in it as it has a tendency to have issues with HP ammo. Other than that a 75 year old can shoot it albeit not comfortably. My other short barreled .45 is a Springfield Armory GI model micro. At least it started out that way. It was just flat out uncomfortable to shoot as the grip safety bit into the webbing on my hand. I replaced the trigger, grip safety, hammer and sear spring. I still had a few problems with it so I sent it to Kase Reeder. He worked his magic on it and now it is one of my most trusted guns. It is blued steel so it weighs more than the kimber and needs a holster on the belt for support. It cannot be carried in a coat pocket concealed. I shoot FMJ in it as well as I have almost always used FMJ as that was all I carried in the Navy (Seabees). I know for a fact that FMJ will put a man down just as good as any other 230 grain bullet moving at 800+ fps. This is just my experience with the guns that you asked about. It is only valid for me, but I like the one that Kase worked over. If I could get my money out of the Kimber I would.
