I've been handling and shooting 1911 pistols since I was 14 years old in high school ROTC. I have three that are my "go to" guns for serious social work.
Top left: Springfield Armory V10. Top right: Colt Series 80. Bottom: Kimber Compact stainless.
The latter two have tritium night sights. The Springfield is more of a daytime gun, given the massive flash from the ports in the barrel. All are tuned and totally reliable.
