Long story real short.  

I want a compact 1911 for CC because that is what I shoot the most and quite honestly I am tired of lugging around my FS.

I also would like to have a 9mm or .40.  Have shot and have available the EMP from SA but don't really care for the smaller grip...it will work if it has too.  Plus it is basically NIB for $900.  

But can anyone tell me does the Kimber Ultra Carry in 9mm have a full size grip or smaller grip?

I realize both have chopped grips...that is what I want is an officer size frame.  I am talking about grip width from front to back.

Thanks.

Kimber Ultra frame is the same as a Colt Officer model.

Kimber has just recently come out with the Ultra + which gives you the 3 in. bbl and the FS grip.

The kimber sounds good, if only it wasn't a kimber!
Size-wise it sounds like the old pit bull from auto ordnance. The size really appeals to me!
In fact, my wife's BIL carry's one(kimber) in AFG.

I actually had that same thought...If only it wasn't a Kimber.

I know that with their recent stuff it seems to be more of a ford (kimber) chevy (sa) thing.

But I have always been a chevy guy
