everyone should have a 1911
I'm not taking anything away from you baws and your antiques. They're beautiful weapons from a better, vanished time.
But, ain't nobody got time to take that damned thing apart. You have to find like 3 different tools to field strip it down to 437 parts.
I can field strip a Glock or Classic Sig, clean it, lube it (
) and have it back together before some of you baws get all the safety latches, catches, locks, beavertails ( ) off the thing and the hundreds of parts organized neatly.

You are correct Ace... and when I get another 1911, it will probably be some mil spec or some surplus 1911, just because. If I had to buy one today, the FNX 45 Tactical would be a hard one to beat but the P227 Tacops would probably get the nod.

Taking the beavertail safety is not part of field stripping the 1911.
It takes me like 3 seconds to field strip one.
To the OP.
I have 4 guns in .45 cal
2 1911s
1 Ruger Blackhawk
1 H&K USP
I really like the USP a lot.
one of my 1911's I upgraded the internals on the frame because the trigger in that gun was absolutely terrible (It's a Springfield Champion). I replaced everything with Wilson parts and the trigger is now almost as good as the trigger tech on my bolt action. Stoned the sear and polished some of the parts. The pull is sitting around 3 lbs if I remember correctly.

What? No.
I only need tools for my custom guns, and that's really only to make them easier to take apart.

Da fuq you talkin bout, Willis?
All you need to tear down a 1911 to the nitty gritty is one spent casing!
