No disrespect here, but now we're recommending $3,400+ pistols, based almost entirely upon the manufacturer's own marketing? C&S is a fine operation, but I think this particular 1911 falls a bit outside of the scope of the OP's intentions.
I've owned, fired and/or evaluated most of the pistols in the "semi-production" class, and offered a recommendation. Some have agreed. Others have served up recommendations of their own. However you may care to look at it, we seem to have arrived at the predicted destination wherein everyone highlights their particular favorite 1911 (read: whatever they happen to own or wish they owned), and we're no longer really on-point. Even taking into account that the OP was fairly vague -- and perhaps even a bit overly optimistic -- about his purposes and constraints involved with the project, there is plenty here to draw from.
I am usually careful not to take the last word in a discussion, but to be perfectly candid, I don't see much point in allowing this one to flop around on the dock for another two pages. Unless the opening constraints can be restated with a bit of renewed clarity, or someone with first-hand experience has a late-breaking epiphany regarding an as-yet-unmentioned 1911, the thread is destined for closure in relatively short order.
