Ran my Wilson through a Hackathorn Advanced Shooter's course yesterday. I sort of felt like I was cheating. I saw lots of guns choke (Glocks, Beretta, even a Les Baer...I am sure more did(my J-frame pulled the crimp on some blazer and jammed up)) but my 1911 soldiered on perfectly. I even ran it through the low light portion (tritium front) with my Surefire Backup light and I was able to keep up with the weapons mounted crowd and shoot accurately.
As long as your 1911 runs I really don't think there is anything better. And it was fun to listen to all the discussions about what extractor/ejector/mag/spring to get...to get your Glock to run right. That used to be what 1911 folks talked about!
I think I have finally passed over the hump into old-coot where I am just going to carry a 1911 and a J-frame and let all my other guns rust in the safe. Nah!
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.
