The original P220, then the P225, P228 (and later the P226 and P229) are the great and unappreciated guns of the modern area.

In an era of striker fired plastic guns these are the "evolved" modern, metal frame hammer-fired guns that don't subscribe to the tupperware fad, and maintain that single action is a GOOD thing.

But, as others have said, the 1911 didn't start to get popular again until recently and they are as good of a choice (if not better) as any other semi on the market today.
