Hellcat, but I am still trying to find the new bodyguard 2.0 which is sold out everywhere.
OP would burn his hand if he touched a 1911. JMB didn't build guns for commies, but for killing commies.
I used to carry a commander series 1911. Never had any issue concealed with an inside the belt holster. Keep hearing everyone say it’s hard. I’m not THAT big (5-9”, 184lbs without a beer belly). My family was worried about my age 9recoil??) and purchased me a WaltherPPQ in 9. It carries and shoots good. When i feel like ti I carry a Ruger SP101 in .357. Cool gun and quite accurate. (Used to hit IHMSA pigs at 100 meters with it from a strong sitting position). It has a 3 inch barrel and finding a holster that is comfortable is a pain. But have no issues concealing it.
A SIG-Sauer P365 for me. That's my EDC. In a Kydex IWB.
kramer makes nice IWB holsters .......6 month at least wait time , i also use garrett kydex they draw sweet

Carried a 1911 for thirty years IWB. Just use good leather. 1911 is thin and smooth. I'm old and count Clint Smith and Pat Rogers as mentors. Having said that, now it's a G48.
S&W M&P M 2.0 in 9mm. In an OWB under my oversized Magellan's angler shirt and t-shirt underneath. The magazine holds 17 rounds. I have two more loaded mags always nearby.
The one in this pic has a lever safety. Mine does not. The safety on mine is a booger picker safety.

Sig 938 or Kimber Ultra Aegis in a good leather IWB holster.
CZ P10c in Alien gear shapeshifter holster.
Depends on the day and weather. Usually a CZ p10c in a Vedder IWB holster at 430, A S&W Mod 66-2 in a pancake holster at 430 or a Ruger Max 380 appendix in a belly band. I will start carrying a Glock 19 once I get some time to get familiar with it.
CZ P-07 in Stealthgear IWB holster.
or
CZ P-01 in Stealthgear IWB Holster.
Not really much difference between the two - as far as concealable or weight.
But if I had to lose one because of a defensive shooting? The polymer goes to the impound.

Every day, a little snub-nose .38 in an appendix carry IWB holster that I honestly forget I’m carrying at times.
Any time we’re “going out” and I’m wearing a coat, or if we’re heading anywhere near downtown San Antonio or Austin, I’ll swap it out for a G19 or P320.

You guys are fancy. I'm nervous to even say it..
Glock 27 on the regular. Glock 19 during winter months if I'm wearing longer shirts or layered.
Sold all my handguns years ago except my glocks. They just work for me. I'm super accurate with them, they are reliable, never a single jam or feed issue no matter how cheap the ammo. Therefore, it's a tool that I trust my life with.

G30S in a Vedder IWB, or if I’m feeling pretty a VBOB with ivory scales in a Georgia snap with elephant accents. Rem golden saber 230’s
P365 for me as well, with a green dot sight. It is so light and thin, you forget it is there. No one sees it. If I am going somewhere sketchy, I carry the P320 compact. It has a few more rounds, but the larger grip and more mass is more secure in the hand. Also per the advice of Jerry Jones at OpSpecTraining, I bought the size large grip. The large grip fills my hand better, and I am noticeable more accurate at speed with it.
Mostly I use leather holsters from R Grizzle, they are like a piece of usable art.

I normally carry one of these two in Milt Sparks Summer Special holsters. Now that winter is about here I rotate in a 4" Python & OWB holsters.
This. Even has the obligatory idiot scratch I gave it before I knew what I was doing. 
It's got lots of finish wear from years of carry and practice. I have thought about getting it ceracoated, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Depending on the area and how deeply concealed my firearm needs to be -

Another Glock "fan" here... And I use "fan" loosely.
Pistols are a tool to me. You might as well ask me what my preferred hammer, oil filter, or sauce pan is... Whichever tool that does exactly what I need it to. And in the case of a pistol it's keeping me alive long enough to get a rifle or carbine in my hand.
I had a 19 and it was good. But the wife wanted her own pistol and didn't like the way the 19 felt in her hand... So we went shopping. She got a 48. So I traded in my 19 for a 48 too... Same caliber, same magazines. Not my favorite, but it's adequate and we can share mags in the unlikely scenario that we would need to. Call it my tactical OCD I guess.
Gotta admit the 48 is a bit easier to carry than the 19 was.
Not even in the same zip code as stylish or fancy. But it works.

I carry a 12” 500 S&W appendix , because it gets pussy!
Wilson edcx9 in one of our horsehide IWB holsters for the last 5 years, because it makes me feel sexy. Wife carries a hellcat pro in the same holster (sometimes).
Two of the IWB horsehides still drying as we speak and a bridle/horsehide composite belt just finished up. ( whoever designed the Springfield XD-9sub-compact- hats off, man. You made the glock 26/27 feel slim and balanced. - Kramer and milt sparks -really anybody’s horsehide stuff is amazing. I literally cut our horsehide belt blanks on a table saw!
P365.... because ~ comfort and 9mm.
Glock 35 w/X300 if I smell something funny.
