The experience I've had with 1911s so far says to me that they wouldn't make very good carry guns...
The fact that they're not ( generally ) double action means that to carry one safely with a round in the chamber is pretty much impossible. Sure it's not very likely that you will somehow manage to shoot yourself but it is definitely more of a possibility than with something like a SIG P226.
I personally think you should be looking for a compact double action pistol that has a proper de-cocking system.
My suggestions would be either a SIG P228 ( or norinco's copy of it ) or something like the P99 compact...
