If you had the desire for a single pistol to use for your full size selection, would it be a 2011 or would it be a 1911? I’m fighting some demons right now lol. American classic vs Texas upgraded (I’m a Texan) single stack 45 vs double stack 9, (I’ll shoot both all day, prefer 45)

If staccato offered their P in 45 this wouldn’t be a discussion. And I mean as an available option, not a 4.15 unicorn

I was having this same discussion with myself a few months ago. I was in the market for a 9mm 1911 and was looking at the DW specialist optics ready.

Then i thought to myself if I'm spending that kind of money, why limit myself to 9 round mags, so i bought a staccato C for a few bucks more...then a prodigy 5", prodigy 4.25", prodigy 5" comp, staccato hd4.5. It didn't make sense to limit myself in mag capacity.

And the elephant in the room is that word "desire". I must be an outlier as I've never used the words 'desire' and 2011 in the same sentence as they're just really ugly, IMHO. Any urges I have for a DS are satisfied by my BHP and its classic looks. But once I put a SS in my hand, that was it - and still is.
But that said ... choices are a beautiful thing.
