[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1181079, member: 7815"] I enjoy shooting and handling 1911s. That said, I've seen enough of em choke in competition and in training classes, while Glocks, XDs and M&Ps kept going strong, that I [I]personally[/I] would not carry a 1911-pattern gun in the year 2010 if I could get a quality modern striker gun instead. If you want a real head-to-head comparison, have you considered the [URL="http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_766268_-1_757782_757781_757781_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y"]M&P 45 Compact[/URL]? It's 8+1, like a 1911. It is a great size, bigger than the 9mm/.40 compacts, smaller than the full sized 9/.40 M&Ps. You can get all your fingers on the .45 Compact with either style of magazine floorplate, but it is still compact and weighs less than most lightweight 1911s. For me, the choice would be easy, but handle one and see what you think. [/QUOTE]
