I'd argue that either platform has proven they could handle the challenges they faced "in their day" and at one time were cutting edge technology. And would probably do the same today outside of true military combat requirements.
The improvements in the "newer" Ruger SR1911CMD maybe give it some advantage over the same 1990's Commanders available then.
Scenerio is, you find yourself unarmed... (Me? Never! LOL!) and at a friend/family member/associate's home. Something REALLY bad has happened and you have to choose from a firearm being offered from his/her collection. Even just for temporary use. I doubt anyone will simply say "no thanks" and get a knife from the kitchen butcher block and call it good.
