Shoots for fun, does not engage in internet slap fights.
A lawyer that knows that the gun is mightier than the pen.
If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.
There were quite a few 1911s there. At least one other Wilson too.

Yep.
Ken shot his Wilson built "Hackathorn Special" 9mm 1911.
Brad shot a Wilson on the first day and a Les Baer on day two.
Jason shot a Chris James built 1911, I didn't know what base gun he used.
Tim shot a Rogers Colt.
Horace shot a Springfield customized by a 'smith that escaped my memory
Michael shot a Brian Bilby tuned 1911 (unknown base gun).
Tony shot a Colt, the last true custom gun built by Bill Ives at the old Pachmayr Gun Works before Pachmayr started building batch guns (built by several 'smiths and technicians, instead of by one master gunsmith).
I shot a Colt customized by John Harrison (only in the grand finale drill).
There was no malfunction that so many people on the internet have been saying about the 1911s. The only malfunction I noticed or heard about was my buddy's S&W M&P Pro. It was extraction issue that he's been having on occasion for awhile now.

Since Greg posted his mini AAR of the Hackathorn pistol class here, I'll add some pictures that the professional photographer/student took:

150 rounds. Light week. I actually split up my ammo supply for the week between the Wilson and a Colt rail gun I picked up for beside the bed duty until I can find a railed Wilson set up that I like.
Anyhoo, I think this will be my drill setup from here on out....
1. Dot Torture drill (50 shots) hard. This is a drill where a sweet trigger pays off.(this has weak and strong hand portions).
2. Hackathorn movement drills (forwards, backwards, side to side). I try to incorporate barriers and tons of mag swaps.
3. 5 Bill drills
4. 3 El Pres drills.
5. 20 or so rounds at 25 yard targets and 50 and 75 yard gongs.
This seems like a pretty good combination of drills and keeps you on your feet.
I didn't mention it in my last post because I wanted to focus on my review of the class, but I had some sort of malfunction last week. During one of the low-light drills while I was using the Roger's technique to hold my flashlight I had some sort of failure to feed. I have no idea because it was pitch black all that happened was I had a dead trigger, did an immediate tap rack and bang, and kept shooting. I was actually able to clear it fast enough to finish the drill fast enough that I still wasn't the last person to finish the drill. If I had to guess I was pressing in on the slide and slide release lever and caused weirdness, but who knows? Anyway, it never happened again during the class nor this week.
I am thinking of adding a Smith and Alexander mag-well to my Springfield Range officer (9mm) does anyone know how it differs from the Wilson unit?

Your malfunction, could have been the flashlight or part of your hand holding the light touching the magazine release button to partially release the magazine. So the next shot went click since the slide didn't pick up any round from the magazine. Your tap, rack, bang put everything back in place.
I had this happen to me years ago when I shot the Beretta 92G-SD. That gun came from the factory with an enlarged and extended magazine release button. Whenever I used the Rogers flashlight method, the light or my hand would just come in contact with the magazine release button.
