I carried a Kimber Raptor Pro stainless for about a year. It was my first pistol used as cc. I def had some corrosion problems on the slide but it was covered under warranty and 4 weeks after sending it in I got it back looking like new. Since then I have switched to a sig p220 and finally a Glock 30sf. Hands down I like the Glock better. First off the Glock is way more dependable. Not even a hiccup in 700 rnds. With the Kimber 1911 I would have at least one in ever 100 rnds. Second magazine size on all single stack 1911 is less than any comparable polymer framed pistol I can think of. Lastly field strip and cleaning of a stainless 1911 is rather time intensive. I would spend close to an hour making my 1911 look pretty again after a trip to the range. I love that my Glock literally takes 60 seconds to strip clean oil and reassemble. Those would be my MAIN talking points, and as you can tell I would recommend steering clear of the 1911 if given the choice between owning only one.
