You could find a dozen guns better suited to CCW than a 45...
I love my 45, and I'm a big guy anyway so I have the mass to hide it but even a small frame 45 is a decent sized weapon, and not the best choice for everybody's carry.
It's definitely going to stop whoever you shoot with it, but it may well "stop" a neighbor if you miss the bad guy.
That said, if it "feels right" for you you can find 9mm (much cheaper rounds) in a full sized 1911 style frame.
