I have always liked the M1911 but I also like the 9mm. It is a great cartridge and has proven to be effective.
9mm subsonic 147gr makes a fairly hard hitter (real good with silencers). I would prefer a bigger or faster round with higher energy against car doors and body armor.
I’m not recommending 1911. There are modern lighter, high capacity handguns in plus calibers.
Like 9mm diameter for better penetration? .357 Sig and .38 super are both 9mm. (.355”)....but with much faster rounds and in heavier projectile.
