If I'm going to go rocking into a social situation, the 1911 is probably one of the last handguns I'd choose...
Not because I hate it, but because I just don't love it.
My first choice for a social situation would be my S&W 19 4", followed by my Model 19 2.5". I'm intimately familiar with both of those handguns, having put thousands of rounds through them and having carried both on more than a few occasions.
Also on the list would be my Model 57 in .41 Mag. or my Model 25-5 in .45 Colt. But, those would be way down on the list simply because I don't have any decent social situation ammo for them. Still, can't disagree with a chunk of lead that huge.
If I were limited to semi-autos, I'd likely pick either my Hi Power or my P7 PSP first. I'm not crazy about the Hi Power being single action only, but you gotta love that magazine capacity, and I especially love the way it fits my hand.
I wouldn't feel badly armed with either my S&W 410 in .40 S&W or my 4506 in .45 ACP, either.
I'd give an honorable mention to my Wather CCP, as well. I've never had a gun fit my hand so naturally as that one.
