I always feel like the 1911s are a bit overrated - I love them, they're excellent guns, but the issue I always have with them is that people act like they're "perfect", which doesn't really exist for guns. Every gun could be a little better. Colts though, have a lot of different variety - have you tried a more 'sporty' model? The 2011s tend to be extremely smooth and tight - there's a joke to be made there, but they're awesome.
