Let me offer another option. Have you considered a Les Baer in 9mm. I own a Premier II in .45ACP and the accuracy is unbelievable. If you check out any of the 1911 sites, (1911forum.com or forumM1911.org)or the Brian Enos (competition shooters) site you will find a quite a number of people who rave about the Les Baer pistols. The common theme among these shooters is "the Les Baer pistols are one of the best values out there". "You can spend a lot more money on a custom gun, and not find any better accuracy". You might even want to see if there is a Bullseye shooters forum. I would think they would share the same opinion about the Les Baer pistols. The best deals on the Baer pistols are usually through one of his distributors who goes under the name of "Pro-Load". I believe they are located in Montana. You can even order one with a 1.5" (IIRC 50 yard) accuracy guarantee.
