I would agree that the modern weapons are well modern and more reliable in general than the 1911 platform.

I have both, so would suggest to save up or even put one on layaway if you don't have all the funds.

I have two 1911's and they work perfectly, but are in my mind more range or sport guns. But even saying that, I would like one more.

S&W - i just read a review and it looked very very nice and had (eek) an external extractor and some other things, so is more of an evolved 1911 rather than strictly old school.

Nighthawk - A bit on the pricey side, but they just look so high quality

Doublestar - smaller firm, but they look pretty good also.

There are plenty of makes of 1911's, picking one is fun, but I will stick with my Beretta, Glock, etc. for no question reliable pick up and shoot gun.
