I use DA/SA hammer fire handguns for carry.  I see that you use, at times, a 1911.  The only reason I wouldn't carry a 1911 is that it's a single action trigger.  You'd either have to carry it fully cocked or cock it before you need to use it.  

I will be getting a Beretta PX4 Storm.  It comes in 3 sizes, full, compact and sub-compact.  You can have one in the chamber and use the de-cocker to relax the hammer back on to the pistol.  De-cocking the gun will make it less likely that you don't shoot your own cock while you carry it around.

I've heard all the arguments about how striker fire guns are safe when they are holstered ... I just can't bring myself to carrying anything other than what I described above.
