About moon clips:
While I don't have a 1911, I do have a 1917. After using the moon clips, I've come to the decision that they are the best thing since sliced bread. I wish my .38s had moon clips. It's like having six round magazines.

About the M1917:
Absolutely friggin' fantastic! It's a great shooter and a great HD or range gun.

But, if you do want a WWII flavor, go with the 1911. Personally, I'd get myself an actual military-issue piece rather than something made to mimick one. Those G.I. '45s are going up in price and seem to be a good investment, also.
