I would say that I wouldn't feel under gunned with a 1911. At the same time the 1911 wouldn't be my first choice for a fighting handgun. Situation dependent I would probably go for the highest capacity handgun I could find with enough power to dispatch an enemy target. If I could get the full powered ammo the FN 5.7 is the most intriguing handgun for defense in a military type situation in my opinion.
Outside of the history of the 1911, my love for it has to do with the trigger. It makes accurate shooting so much easier compared to the super polymer pistols.
