As the title says, if you were starting from scratch buying your first 1911, what would you go with?
Since about 1980 I have been carrying a Colt Lightweight Commander in .45 ACP. Custom sights, custom grips, ambidextrous safeties, beaver tail grip safety, heavy duty recoil spring and mainspring. I also install arched mainspring housings on all my 1911s. I carry the commander, a custom Browning High Power, or a S&W 442 depending on where I'm going or how I'm dressed. If I was limited to one handgun I'd pick my Series 70 Gold Cup with a .22 LR conversion kit.
