As you don't want to buy a 1911, I suggest the Sig P220, especially the SAO.
West German 220, no stupid rail needed/wanted.Sig P220 and call it done.

Spot on. Rails are for trains…and “operators” with certain skills.

I put lights on my rails. That way I have a means to use the pistol with a light if I only have one hand available. I don’t consider it operating though.

The M&P is NOT a 1911. Perhaps I misunderstood you.Smith and Wesson M&P 45 is a very good gun, but you have to love a 1911.
If you do choose a 1911, make sure you have a pool of cash set aside, ready to throw at your pistolsmith of choice to fix any outta-da-box issues. Typically you'll encounter these in the first 50-100 rds fired.

The HK45 fired its first 31,522 rounds without a bobble of any kind, another pistol-training.com endurance test record.
So what are the final numbers:
252 total days of testing
96 trips to the range
average 520.8 rounds per trip
392 hours of range time
average 127.5 rounds per hour
The HK45 was fired in nine States… and one foreign country, eh?
Twelve different types of ammunition from nine different manufacturers were used:
CCI Blazer 230gr FMJ: 26,185
Federal American Eagle 230gr FMJ: 21,354
Remington UMC 230gr MC: 850
Winchester 230gr Ranger SXT: 542
PMC 230gr FMJ: 600
ASYM 230gr FMJ Match: 124
ASYM 185gr National Match Target: 120
Black Hills 230gr FMJ: 50
Mag Tech 230gr MC: 50
Pro Load 230gr Match FMJ: 50
Winchester (white box) 230gr FMJ: 50
Remington 230gr Golden Saber BJHP: 25
The pistol was only cleaned seven times during the entire test, going 10,181 rounds between cleanings at one point.
Seems all we get are 200 round infomercial social media events.
What isn't reliable out of the box?Would like to find a 45 ACP .Not 1911
That doesn't require spring changes special mags .
To work out of the box.
