For a night stand gun, of those options, I would go for a standard government model, preferably 70 series. They were making those again recently I think. I have a 70 series GC which is a beautiful target gun that I would not bang around in a night stand. I also have an 80 series Stainless Combat Commander which is handy and has been reliable. I would do a lot of break-in on any new 1911 I was planning to use for self defense with my given choice of load. Learn to clear a stovepipe fast. Some are picky about what they will feed. That being said, my personal nightstand choice is a Glock. Cheaper, accurate, reliable, higher capacity, harder to scratch!
Thanks for the feedback. I actually, decided to go with the Gold Cup Trophy. It will mostly be used for enjoyment at the range. For the nightstand, I decided on a Sig P227.
