For those looking at a 1911: Not to sound like a SIG fanboy, but try the SIG P220 if you're looking for a single stack .45 handgun. The trigger's a little different, as well as the fact that the SIG is DA/SA instead of pure SA, which will let you avoid the problem of having to carry it cocked if you do decide to carry (well, not a problem, per se, but more of something that would make a new person uncomfortable). Plus, the SIG is only about $6-700, location dependent (probably less outside of where I live), is ridiculously accurate, and feels like a dream to shoot.
