You can read my post above "newbie on 1911 and others. It will give
you an insight of my journey from 1911 to other pistol types

I love these pistols. I think they are the best Target pistols-period!!
However, as I wrote, they are harder to "field strip" compared to the others. I own a few different types. Maybe, it is just me. Compared to many
modern design, I find them difficult to clean and can sometimes be
finicky. As you said, they require adjustments, fine tuning and I feel
that they are great recreational and range guns. For self defense, there
are other convinient options. Others may not share these opinion.

Oh, If I were you, I'll get a basic Kimber Stainless Steel or Smith & Wesson.
