And I agree with M1911. To help you decide if my opinion can be considered educated:

[1] I've trained at Gunsite, in both handgun and rifle. I've also had training with the Walt Marshall's Advanced Weapons and Tactics group and one class with Louis Awerbuck.

[2] I've competed in IPSC (Limited Division). I was a USPSA certified range officer (but let my certification lapse).

[3] I'm an NRA certified instructor in Basic Handgun, Personal Protection Inside the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home.

[4] My handgun of choice has always been the 1911. All my formal training has been with the 1911, and in all my handgun competition I've used a 1911.
