The original question was whether or not the 1911 is a good/best CQB platform. I say it is.
It's still widely used for serious purpose after almost 100 years, is manufactured in ever increasing numbers by ever increasing numbers of makers, and has excelled across every shooting environment (e.g., battlefield, street, range, hunting, and competition). Name another combat pistol with those credentials.
