Any of those lubricants you have would work just fine for a 1911.

I took an bunch of old assorted lub's I had on the shelf and mixed them together in an old eye dropper bottle of Pachmayr Elixir. I even added a bit of synthetic ATF for color.

I have been using it on all my revolvers and pistols for a couple of years. It works great. No gumming, no dry residue build up, no mold.
