There really isn't enough information here to make a choice. Are you using these guns for concealed carry and self-defense?
If so, I've carried a full-size M1911 for more years than I care to mention.
1. It's flat and easy to conceal.
2. It's easy to shoot well.
3. It holds 9 rounds versus 5 for the SP101. And as John Farnham said, the most common cause of a stoppage in action is running out of ammunition.
4. The M1911 can be reloaded lightening fast when you carry a spare magazine or two.
Now if I were carrying the gun in the woods, I'd go with a revolver -- because they don't scatter the empties in the leaves. But I'd want something a bit more than the SP101 -- with at least a 4" barrel and preferably 6".
