The design of the 1911 appeals to me and it's my money? I'll grab a CZ too. And a 'proper' .45 auto 1911, eventually. Where I'm at with my skills right now is not somewhere that intersects with .45 auto and the recoil is an issue for my wrist.

1911 caliber arguments are a waste of time. Let's just stop here? You don't like it when the platform is chambered for 9mm, I do. Enough said?

EDIT: Shit, I told my grandma I got a pistol (former USSR, lives elsewhere - not in America) and she started asking me about the famous American Colt pistol before I could even tell her I got a 1911. It's so recognizable with such a rich history and can be had in any caliber you want...
