If you get a 1911 I'd make sure to get a reliable make (e.g. Kimber, deservedly or not, has a worse reputation for reliability than a Springfield. I am no expert on 1911's (despite owning three of them).

Sorry... didn't realize you were talking full size pistols. I was referring to my shield 9mm and NO, the safety on this one isn't spongy and as for the slide... well maybe for your wife it's easy but mine has lost some strength.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I know from your posts you're intelligent and analytical. And I have inferred from others' posts that you're an attorney (more evidence you're intelligent, 'cause law school isn't for dummies).
So, I have to ask how reliability, for you, is a non-issue ("not required").
If you were buying a target/plinking pistol (say a .22 semi-auto), I'd agree that reliability is rarely a concern (because defective guns just get shipped back to the manufacturer).
But I'm assuming (Yeah, I know what they say about "assume.") that since you're looking at 9mm, some level of self defense might be envisioned for one of those pistols. (I mentioned reliability earlier because it's of paramount importance for SD weapons.)
Anyway, I'm just curious. If you prefer to not respond, I won't be offended. If you'd prefer to reply in a non-public manner, my email is guntraining@att.net
In any event -- good luck in your search.

Eisenhower warned us. They got rich off of WW II, although needed. But when it ended they thought they were entitled to gouge the goverment and those in government liked it and rode the economic bus to get their "sore leg" well.

I just don't think my 1911 will ever be used for self defense. Even if it is, reliability isn't an either or. Chances are, it will fire.
Anyway, just walked out with a Walther CCP and a Ruger SR1911 9mm.

The shield is definitely a different story - safety actuation is a little more positive and the slide is much stiffer because of the short stout recoil spring. But with some practice on an easier full size gun and practicing racking form, most people could work a shield slide too.
