Have owned Colts in several sizes, mil surplus Remington Rand, Kimber and presently own a Ruger 5" 1911.
My all-time favorite; the Ruger!
It was purchased for personal protection.
I've modified it to include a shorter trigger to "fit" my hand better, and, if it has to set in a police evidence locker for several months, I'm not out that much cash.
I can hit better with this 1911 than any other I've owned.
