I am starting to research my next 1911 and could use some help. I have read from an article from Massad Ayoob that colt, para, kimber, and springfield have better safeties and will not fire if droped or hit hard. I am looking for a 1911 45ap shorter that 5 inches with night sights, right and left safety, and $1000 or less but of course I want the best my 1000 will buy. I currently carry a glock 30 and a taurus 85 ultralight. The 1911 38 super I have is not ready for carry as I only have about 150 rounds thru it and it is very picky on ammo. I'm hoping to avoid the picky on ammo in my next 1911 buy.
