Taylor the SR1911 is viable for concealed carry. I carry a Smith and Wesson 1076 10mm and the 4.25 model is similar in size/weight. i am 6'1 and medium build and have no issues with CC. However, your comfort level will get more relaxed once you get accustomed to the weight.

It's a big heavy pistol for a carry gun in 45. Ruger makes a light weight version though in 9mm. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=ruger+6722

with a good holster and belt its a great cc firearm I carry a officers 1911 45acp as my EDC

You can conceal pretty much any pistol well with proper attire. 4.25" or "commander sized 1911s included. I carried a Colt Commander for a long time, but these days I prefer for the lightweight frame 1911s for more comfort. The downside is it'll have a little more felt recoil, but the weight savings is huge. Here's the Ruger Light commander if you're interested. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/97847/Ruger+SR1911+45+4.25+NOV+SS%2FWOOD

Tad large and heavy. 45acp, not the best option

Other than the weight 1911 are great carry guns their narrow profile conceals very well. The heavy weight requires a good quality gun belt and holster. I carry 1911s of all sizes and the BELT is the key Good belt gun stays up and in place light belt gun droops and wants to cause SAG
