Outdated pistol based around an outdated cartridge

Oh I’m not denying they shoot good. They shoot real good. But they’re heavy single stacks and .45 acp is a dinosaur. Cartridge that should've died a few times now but it lives on solely because of the 1911.Your close enough to come shoot with me some time at Ga.Gun Club...wont cost you a nickle.Bring or we can rent whatever you like to shoot side by side comparison.Ill be shooting a bone stock Springfield RO.I dont think youll have those same sentiments when we leave.
Listen close, no one wants you to hear this. Shop around for an old Norinco 1911. Harder steel, harder parts. So far, unjamable. I love my Norinco. I have had RIA which I loved, a comarron, and a few other. I would only avoid ATI and Remington.So, never owned and never fired a 1911. Nonetheless when I was in my formative years as a lad I grew up in a military town and just about all my uncles and great uncles were in the military in WWII, Korea and/or Vietnam so to me when I think of handguns it is always the 1911 that immediately comes to mind. I want one, I'm gonna get one. I want a solid one, don't want to drop a couple grand so I figure if it was good enough to serve for so many decades a good ole fashioned GI configuration will suit me just fine, at least for my first one. I was poking around and saw RIA has a GI model for just over $500. My questions are simple.
Is RIA decent quality?
If I get a more vanilla "GI model" like this what will I be giving up that I simply don't know about that I'd get by default with a more high end 1911?
Thanks in advance all, appreciate it!
...and the dozens of other pistol, pdw, and carbine platforms that benefit from it. I've heard a lot of wind, but never that .45acp is outdated. It has tons of uses, suppressed fire is only one of them... makes a pretty nice revolver round too.Oh I’m not denying they shoot good. They shoot real good.

Norinco's are tits if you get em worked on. Made from railroad tracks.Listen close, no one wants you to hear this. Shop around for an old Norinco 1911. Harder steel, harder parts. So far, unjamable.

If what your saying is true,why do alot of the spec.op guys and contractors still choose both this caliber and platform to go into harms way against the worst of the worst .Its not exclusively used as other platforms are also utilized,but its ballistics and the platform that houses it are far from outdated as you ascribe.A thug may feel inclined to "slap"a Glock 19 outa your hand because hes not intimidated,however even King Kong is gonna wither when looking at the buisness end of a 45 1911 when there is a determined looking individual at the controls.45's let a lot of air in and a lot of blood out.Oh I’m not denying they shoot good.
