That being the case, I'd recommend that you stick with a non-1911 option for your self defense needs.
Just sayin'.

The real shame is that erection is easier to conceal than the 1911. (no homo)

Well that didn't go as planned

HAHAHAHA Assault with a friendly weapon.

Why so many of the same gun? I’m jealous. I love 1911s, I just can’t justify buying one right now. Much less buying 30

i can't remember the last time i fired my 1911.my stainless s&w 629 goes with me every time i go shooting.gotta say,it's not cheap to fire off a box of shells.even the cheapest ones run me at least $60.and i can't stop till the box is empty.(twss)
My personal favorites that I have starting with Rimfire is CZ455 precision Bolt Trainer along with CZ512 semi-auto.
As far as the shotgun goes I have a Remington 870 Tactical 12ga.
Stepping up to my .308 Centerfire Ruger RPR range gun Tack Driver.
My personal carry is a Ruger LCS 9mm. and A Taurus PT92 during the colder temps in a shoulder harness.
And of course My S&W AR15 with a few additions.

I own a S/S Ruger 22/45, an SKS with a 75 rd drum. 2 M77 skeleton stock Rugers, one is 22mag. The other is a 300 win mag.
These lists remind me of when some so called possible terrorist is caught in the People's Republics of California, New Jersey or like place for having too many firearms and ammo and they list all the contents of the vast confiscated arsenal. Folks like me look at it and think, " Arsenal" ???? I got more than that in my truck.
I shot a 1911 for the first time today and I think I need one.
My current favorite shooting gun is my Keltec CP33. It's hard to beat +30 rounds for fun but it's super light and fun.

if you think you need a 1911,do not go near a .44 magnum.i tried one and had to have one and it costs me a fortune to shoot,but man,is it ever worth it.my buddy tried mine and had to have one as well.he copied me and swapped out the rubber stocks for some nice wood ones.they are infinitely more comfortable to shoot with wood ones.

If you ever want to live a little, shoot an S&W 500 with the short barrel and full bore loads. It's pretty much like catching a baseball bat swung at full tilt in your bare hands, but holy s*** is it a riot. We've had the same box of 50 rounds since my dad bought the gun 4-5 years ago. I think there are still 20 or so rounds left...
I also enjoy loading a .45LC into the .460 for the first round when someone new wants to shoot it and the rest hotrod .460 loads 🤫. They rip that first shot off and think it's nothing, then the next trigger pull.... surprise!! Haha

We have a gay governor so we aren't allowed more than 10 round magazines but my large capacity magazines are grand fathered and the others were lost in a tragic boating accident.

If an intruder sees me with both an erection and my 1911 he can figure no matter what he is screwed.

It should be noted that an accurate .22 rifle is a very useful weapon. It will kill a lot of animals and humans just the same. Probably not the best option in close quarters but if you are sniping from a distance a good head or heart shot will do the trick. Plus.... say you are carrying 20lbs of ammo. You'll have a lot more rounds with a 22 than anything else.

Well I have most boxes checked I guess, the ones on my list anyway. And please, these are opinions and mine is no better than yours.
1. A .22 rifle is probably the most important gun anyone can own IMO. I prefer levers but I do have a 10/22. But any good .22 really, and 5,000 rounds of quality ammo and that would serve about 90% of any persons "needs" as well as anything.
2. A Glock 19. I have several 9mm handguns, just me talking out my hat here, but if you make a list of all important aspects of a combat pistol it's just really hard to beat all around. Any reliable semi-auto could fill this slot, the G19 is my choice.
3. A 12 gauge shotgun. Honestly probably the Remington model 870. I have an 1100, but for self defense and hunting I think the 870 would be my choice.
4. An AR-15. You could substitute other semi-auto combat guns, but why?
5. A bolt-action centerfire. Really tough to beat the .308 in this regard IMO. I have a half-dozen calibers, but the .308 is the best all around hunting cartridge in the lower 48.
The second 5 become must haves for everyone that has the first five covered.
6. A 1911 pistol in .45 ACP - Your first should be a Colt.
7. A Colt or a S&W pre-lock magnum revolver.
8. A centerfire lever action rifle.
9. M1A
10. Another 1911.
