[Arrowhead1952]

I think all 1911's are good. ;-)

Yes they are. They have more recoil, but anyone getting hit by that round is not coming after you anymore.

Actually, I have found 1911’s to be very well-balanced in the standard configuration (full-size barrel, 8-rd. magazine). They have less recoil than you would imagine, even with +P loads. Heavy to carry, but heavy-hitting, and that’s what counts.
