As much as I love my 1911, if I could have only one 45ACP, it would have to be my S&W625. I bought it, thought I hated it till I learned how to run it, and now can't get enough. I still shoot my 1911 better (slightly) but if I were going to have just one forever, it would be the revolver. Light loads, heavy loads, any type of bullet profile- no problem.
