yep. Reminds me of the debate that pops up about replacement Glock barrels. You've got two mfrs - Lone Wolf and KKM? And you have a debate about which one is better. Now you have 20-30 people making 1911 barrels, and you'll see that much more variation.
The handgun I have owned the longest is a 629 Smith, and after that a Colt 1911 from the early 90's. I've owned and shot a bunch of others, but I keep coming back to the 1911 for the best combo of reliability, practical accuracy, and power. Though I do usually have a H&K around
