That's not even the tip of the iceberg of teams and people who were die hard 1911 shooters who came to that same conclusion.
Yet guys who put thousands and thousands of rounds down range every year for precisely placing holes in a lot of targets consecutively while on the clock keep choosing 1911's and its alter ego the 2011 to get it done.
As for myself, I don't stick with one single gun to carry all the time, it's a rotation of 3 or 4 options depending on what I'm wearing and what I'm doing that day. Sometimes M&P, sometimes Kahr, sometimes other stuff, sometimes a 1911. I kinda used up all my ability to just pick one of something when I found my wife.
