I do, in Winter time full sized .45, several friends carry the Commander (smaller) sized .45's pretty flat and easy to conceal...although summer time I currently have a 5 shot Taurus .357.
Note: here in PA open carry is legal...I open carry about 1/2 the time.

The best bullet/gun debate is never ending and pretty pointless....Whatever gun you decide to carry, make sure it works...make sure it is reliable, make sure you have good quality ammo...and make DAMN sure you shoot and become proficient at it.
Personally, I would only carry a .45 or a .40 cal for self defense. I had both until the pigs got my Ruger P90. Also, what I so like about the .45 is that it's subsonic right out of the box and a good silencer would make it my weapon of choice on nigger hunting safaris.

45+stopping power+subsonic velocities=one excellent weapon.
