They're all accurate if the gun is well made.....I have 1911's made in 9mm,
.40S&W and .45 acp .....and have had them in .38 super ...

There is a huge quality range....in 1911's ....and often, in guns, you get what you pay for ....but some of the guns under $1,000 are pretty accurate...but guns in the $ 3,000 price range - that come out of shops like Wilson Combat - are very hard to beat ( Wilson sells many of his guns with a 1" guarantee at 25 yds ....and they will perform that well !! ).
