All of these have proven unreliable ....

The super grade 1911's that shoot 2" groups @50+ yards are not the WWII looser tolerance never jam type.
When I carried a 1911 daily I had a regular no frills version. I have numerous model 70 Gold cups,
had two Les Baer's, a Wilson, and an Ed Brown. They are like your AR, Ferraris in a clean environment. Not so great in a dirty gritty environment like the M1A or M14.
I like Glock but get a bigger bullet. A .45 comes pre expanded. At least a 40 S&W. All you'd need is a drop in bbl and new mags.
With that said my friend used a Beretta 9mm and one shot one kill (head). So you will have a gun (9x19) in a gun fight .
I think this is similar to the HP debate.
