Anyone have a well carried high end 1911?

Stainless 1911s rock. It's not because of how long the finish lasts or doesn't last. It's because stainless absorbs recoil. I'd say there's probably little to no difference in average first shot placement between aluminum frame 1911s and stainless. But every shot thereafter, I would bet my entire gun collection that stainless 1911s out perform aluminum with tighter groups at quicker times across the board with any level of skill. I have owned a dozen or so 1911s over the years. It's what I carry half the time when I carry. I've had a lot of range time with them in all sorts of configurations. NONE hold true and steady in rapid fire except stainless frames. I wouldn't trade my Stainless CBob for any 1911 ever made with an aluminum frame.
 
STI is what i am leaning towards. The seem to be great weapons that fall between kimbers prices and some of the other offerings like Baer and WC.

That is a great looking 2011 truegiant, but i prefer single stack 1911's.

I prefer single stack as well. But it is nice not to have to load magazines as often while at the range. Plus you can kill more zombies with less magazines. Plus its exactly the same width as a single stack which is even better. So you get all the benefits and non of the disadvantages.
 
Well, after a few trades i was able to get a 1911 in my hands. Its somebodies custom build, stainless caspian slide on a carbon steel foster race ready recon frame. Seems to be well fit, minus the grip safety, it rattles more than i would like, so i may change that out.

Cant wait to find some ammo and get to the range.
