I can attest to everything said by the OP.
I am a die hard 1911 fan. I have a Springfield EMP I carry off duty and just ordered a Springfield Custom shop PC9111LR based duty gun.
Both are 9mm.
My Glock collection includes a G34, G26 and G19 in addition to my wifes G35/G23.
I went through firearms instructor and multiple SWAT/active shooter schools with my Storm Lake barreled/stippled/ATS sighted G34.
I carry it on duty every day. I trust not only my life, but another 200,000 peoples lives to it everyday.
