Yep...used to carry an XD9 and then got the 1911 itch! I now carry a Dan Wesson Guardian in .45...no rusting or corrosion problems, no issues at all. It's Bobtailed, so it's great for carrying IWB. I will sometimes carry my Dan Wesson CBOB if I haven't cleaned my Guardian and I used to carry my 5" Les Baer when I first got it, but it printed too much for my tastes and went back to the Guardian.
As far as trading up...if you aren't having issues with your current carry right now and are able to handle your weapon and are competent and accurate...my advice would be to keep it and spend your money on family needs etc...oh, and ammo!!! Lots and lots of ammo!!!
