If you want to put 230 grains down range, go with the Springfield Armory XD 45. 14 rounds before you reload and 26 more rounds if you carry two spare mags. I never liked the "cocked and locked" concept of the 1911. I want to make the thing go bang when I pull the trigger, without worrying about a safety in the heat of a bad situation.
It's all in the training.
I've competed with one 1911 or another for 20 years, and the safety flick on draw and line-up is muscle memory. Done it a jillion times, live and dry.
Competition stress is the next best thing to the "real thing" and I have no doubt that when my mind says "draw" I'll be able to put a round on target without thinking about the safety. It'll just happen.
Glocks, on the other hand, scare the hell out of me.

Different strokes.
