A stone cold evaluation of the 1911 is very difficult. Quite apart from its impressive history, I think the 1911 is the most ergonomically perfect pistol thus far created.
Agreed, for the grip angle, backstrap to trigger dimension, and the single stack width.
The single stack is also one of the 1911's weaknesses. Seven rounds just doesn't cut it for me anymore, given what others might bring to the fight. I don't want to find myself having to reload after 7 rounds when the other guy is still shooting with 15 or 17 rounds. I have never been in a fight, but I know from training with others that its a big disadvantage to have to think about tactical reloads so often.
