Sure, part of my point was that a well made and well tuned 1911...will shoot very good groups.
My primary carry gun is a Wilson Combat 5", 1911 ( CQB model ) in .45 acp....and I practice a lot with a Wilson Combat Protector model, 5" gun in 9mm....they are both guaranteed with 1" groups at 25 yds... / 99% of the time, I will carry one of these two Wilson's. They are both well made...but I don't consider them competition guns / they're everyday guns,
Sig X-Five L-1 model is about 55 oz with a full mag in it / mine is chambered in .40 S&W...and while I have a Kramer horsehide leather holster for it / and will draw and fire it at the range...its too heavy to carry even with a good belt and holster ( and I'm 6'5" and 290 lbs...)... The X-Five L-1 model was really created as a race / or competition gun ( not in my hands ) ...fun to shoot / but not a carry gun.
I have a holster for my mod 83 Freedom Arms as well ...it has a 4 3/4" octagonal barrel...and its close to 55 oz as well...and too heavy to carry as well. Again its fun to shoot ...but not a carry gun in my view.
-----------------
But since accuracy was your point...yes, there are a number of very good 1911's out there that will compete with good revolvers for accuracy. I'm 65 yrs old ....so in my age group / the 1911 has lived on as a primary weapon / it sure didn't go away with most of us, in my age group, --- in the 70's, or 80's, or 90's, etc....
