Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Loaded Ultra Compact vs Loaded Champion
Posted: 8/10/2011 3:13:01 PM EDT
Is a 3.5" barrel any more concealable than a 4"? Is there any difference in frame size between the 2 pistols?

The Ultra has a shorter grip (ala Colt Officer's ACP).  The Champion has the same size grip as a 5" 1911, but has a 4" barrel.

I've found that the barrel length doesn't matter as much to conceal as grip length.  

Also, for me, I prefer the full size frame to the shorter one for the better grip (don't have to watch the meat of my hand on a reload).  

YMMV though
