I bought a 1911 thinking I'd carry it and quit because it was to bulky.

I wouldn't say a 1911 is necessarily "bulky" as bulky implies width/girth ( love that word).

I don't carry a 1911 because it's heavy. If you compare it side-by-side to a Glock, the Glock obviously has the "bulky" part in spades. But the 1911 does weigh considerably more.

So, a single stack 9mm has less width than the already-thin 1911, holds as many or more rounds, and is easier to carry than a bulky Glock - sounds like a winner.
