Modern 1911 recommendations

Glock 36, except the barrel isn’t long enough.

...then there's the capacity issue.

I still have my G36 in the carry rotation though. The only Glock that fits my hand well.

One of my family members has asked me to help shopping for a quality, 5", railed, suppressor ready, ambi safety, 45acp, single stack 1911, factory model. Primary use will be a nightstand ready gun. Purchasing new some time around December, so plenty of time to have it sent from buds or something as there's few good gun shops where they live.

Sig tacops comes to mind and is at the top of the budget

What other makes and models should be considered?

Might want to convince that relative to up his timetable to have it purchased and BGC completed no later than late Oct....... they may want to have it before the election result announcements.

And why in a 1911 specific thread does a a G-lock fanboy think it necessary to interject any model of Glocks ?

Jesus, that is almost as bad as when a libitard shouts racist when they have no sensible response to a question. Just yanking your chain Lama....... Or not......

Specifically made for you, love.

Though in fairness, OP asked what other makes and models should be considered. I would contend the Glock is the true inheritor of JMB’s legacy and the highest form of the tilt barrel.

I'm glad that I'm not alone in this conclusion.

In terms of machining, tolerances and mass production, Gaston perfected [see what I did there?] what John started.

Or when someone asks about a computer problem and the response is, "Get a Mac!"

I'm with Wulf202. The S&W M&Ps have the same great natural point of aim for me as 1911s. Glocks, not so much. The M&P Shields feel like a concealable 1911 that won't pull my pants down on me.
