I'm a big 1911 fan, I have a few .45acp, I have a 10mm and a 9mm.
Obviously .45 feels right. I like the 10mm, I have carried it quite a bit and put quite a bit of ammo through it.
With proper springs the 1911 handles 10mm very well, but full power 10mm is a hot round, and after a day of training with it you know you weren't shooting 9mm.
I have a 1911 in 9mm (springfield), I do not like shooting it. It just feels weird to me. I got into discussion about it on a gun forum, my takeaway was that the recoil pulse, and slide velocity we so different and slower that it just doesn't feel right.
Part of the reason that I chose to carry a 1911 is the CA magazine limit, there isn't much of a penalty when you are limited to 10 rounds and its very easy to carry an additional single stack mag or two, but if the new ruling holds and we are allowed standard capacity mags I will reevaluate my carry gun situation.
