Dave.....Get a SIG and pitch that Glock. I still carry my 1911 but lately the Compact in 45acp.

As for the barrel discussion ?? I can't trust the OEM barrels for my shooting. I prefer to start with
a fresh blank

Sigs are nice. I serviced about every Sig model in existence during 2008-2010. But actually I don’t carry either. Well, technically it’s not. I carry a P80 I built myself. And of course I still love the 1911. Especially building them! But I don’t carry hammer fired period. Modern polymer frames pistils in striker fire config. No hammer, no single/double action nonsense & no thumb safety. (Aka: the Tex Grebner special) They are smaller, lighter & carry more. But I’ll always have & love shooting the 1911. The last one I built was the first gun I built after being disabled.

I do agree on barrel. I prefer starting with just a bare Action. Was just pointing point your statement wasn’t attacking, but rather simply asking what barrel it is.

i didn't assume it was an attack, its a pretty fair question and i fully understand why a custom barrel maker has a much higher probability of making an awesome barrel vs basically a cookie cutter barrel. Its just the OEM barrel checks all the boxes of what i wanted IF ITS A SHOOTER AS WELL lol. That said, i did start this with a $1400 OEM rifle. I cannot get this action otherwise. Its a factory trued action and more ridged than a standard 110 action. So for that price, i figured id at least try the barrel.

As for carry, i 100% carry
Ill be the boring guy here because i know from first hand experience, if you ever use it, you will likely never see it again. 10+ years later after all court cases closed, I've yet to see my HK P30 again. That being said, i now full time carry a very old, Beretta 92S NOT FS just S. It was an Italian police trade in, imported into the US. Cost me a grand total of $300. You can not find a pistol in that price range to match the reliability and build quality. Also i don't want a $1000+ pistol to end up looking as sad as this beretta from holster wear, or be taken from me forever because i actually needed to use it.
