For the sake of further conversation, and so that we can be unfettered from misunderstanding, what do you feel is an unmatchable quality of the 1911, and what makes it the most practical and capable platform out there? I am going to drop the trigger issue because that is subjective, and I believe that it has been made clear that we disagree.
There are several other choices in .45 platforms. I don't really think you'll get more than heated, opinionated viewpoints arguing ad nauseum over all the particulars of one over another. Some will be founded on hard facts, and others will be founded on personal biases.
I have a Colt 1991A1. I bought it because I wanted a .45 ACP, I like that form, and it was affordable.
But it's not my only gun. I have two other pistols, three rifles (well, two, if you don't count the one that ended up my wife's), and two shotguns.
And these aren't likely to be all that I'll ever own, either.
Each one has a particular set of reasons as to why I bought it, and they aren't the same between any two.
Technically speaking, none of my guns are of "unmatchable quality". None of them are the "most practical" and none of them are the "most capable".
I'm sure any one of my guns could be outmatched in quality, especially as I'm not into high end custom guns.
And no matter what I might think about my guns as being the "most practical" or "most capable", they will always be someone else out there who would contest that as well.
The bottom line is I like my Colt 1991A1 simply because I like all the aspects I find positive about it. Doesn't mean I won't buy something else in .45 ACP.
