I use 1911's - both .45 ACP and 10mm - as "woods carry guns" a lot. I've dispatched varmints around the camp with them, also shot a few hogs. My 10mm 1911's and an HK USP 45 wear Holosun red dots for these purposes. This isn't from "necessity", as I have several revolvers in .44 Special, .44 Mag, .480 Ruger, and .45 Colt. I also have 10mm in other semi-autos than 1911's. I DO like the 1911's a lot, though, like to carry and shoot them.
