Hi RGJOHNS, I like the S&W 4.25" 1911PD with Crimson Trace grips. I like it VERY MUCH and now that I have learned what not to do when cleaning, I have not had a faliure in just shy of 5k rounds.(which are 10 to 1 ratio of 230gr@840f/s to 185gr+P@1090f/s) I can not ask for a more accurate gun which can feed a just fired empty from mag using the slidestop from slidelock. After all of that the gun comes with all the features i wanted and now it also comes with a $100 rebate until April30. Win-win in my book. Also i have carried it all day in a Don Humes IWB with a spare mag and forgot many times it was on. I like the Galco royal carry better but Humes works very well for a lot less $. Hope it helps RGJOHNS.

In my opinion there is no "best". I would suggest you rent all those guns you mention and shoot 100 rounds through each. Yep, it will cost you a few dollars. Buy the one you shoot the best.

I've been carrying a Rock River Armory Govt model 1911 for a year now in an Uncle Mikes Sidekick IWB holster. 0 problems, I've put about 1500 rounds of assorted ammo through it without trouble. Fit, finish, and workmanship are as good as I have seen on any non-custom .45. accuracy is all I could want for personal defense or range shooting. I have experieance with Colts, Auto Ordanance, LLama and other makes and this is the only one I can honestly say I trust to go bang when needed and hit what needs hitting, and at $400 its about 2/3 the price of so called inexpensive 1911's from Taurus and other makers.
