I've shot 1911s at the range, and found them quite enjoyable. But not enough to ever try to rewire my shooter's brain to learn the system.
But I have hedged my bet a little bit with the Sig Legion: big caliber, big frame, big beavertail, and a great SA pull (after the DA first trigger pull). Close enough.....
