Since Route 45 has broken the suggestions outside the choices given. The Sig P220 is a great choice for a non 1911 .45
8 stages of 1911 ownership
1. Overpaying for outdated gun
2. Telling yourself you love it
3. Telling your friends how you love it
4. Getting defensive about owning it
5. Trying to remember a time it didn't jam
6. Realizing a stick is just as reliable
7. Selling it to some other sucker
8. Happiness
This will be a range piece and not a carry gun.

Get the 1911. I have a Springfield Range Officer and for out of the box accuracy I am real pleased. Yeah , I don't see the sights worth a hoot these days so I installed the Fastfire III. Good combo for 50 yard target shooting.

Not owned a glock but did own a double stack 45acp. There is a major difference in accuracy with the way the gun handles under recoil due to double vs single stack. The single stack from my experience is much more accurate. Everything above pretty much sums up my experience with 1911’s, kind of a pain to disassemble and reassemble but everything else is worth the extra cost.
I guess I have had the 1911’s down so many times over the years that it is just 2nd nature to me. I can have one down to just parts/pieces in minutes. A simple field strip/clean is not an issue. But that’s just me I suppose.
