So just buy 2 guns
That's what I would do. Keep in mind you should try things out for yourself. Go to H&H and shoot a couple of 1911s and different .22s and see what you like.

I've owned Kimbers and a Springfield Mil Spec. Still have one of the Kimbers and the Springer. FWIW, the Springer is just as accurate, and more reliable than my remaining Kimber. And, it was cheaper.
Of course, the Springfield is a full size steel frame, and the Kimber is aluminum framed Commander size. The closer you stay to the original formula, the more likely you will have no problems.
so stick to the all steels?
I usually go to h&h when they have their vendors come, every year. A good place to shoot new guns and get a feel of which brand you like the most. It can be hard to tell what shoots good for you, when you shoot rentals. Some get so abused. The best 1911 is the one that is reliable, and one that you shoot well. Just because it feels good in your hands, doesn't always mean you'll shoot it well.
