No. I have not. I've been a dedicated firearms nut/owner for a very long time, more than 40 years. (I'm 60 now)
I fell in love with 1911's when my dad let me hold and look at the Remington Rand version of 1911 he carried in WWII. I have never not loved the design, and have owned more than a couple dozen over the last four decades.
I have, at times, carried other pistols, Glocks being the predominant one. Love the efficient, no nonsense design. Had lots of others too.
But, I always come back to the 1911. In fact, I picked up one today. I've built a couple here and there, modified most of mine to make them work best for me, use better/different parts, etc. I haven't ever been able to afford top end versions of the gun, such as a Baer, or Les Brown, Wilson, whatever, but have owned Colts, a Detonics, an early Kimber, that sort of thing, but my favorites on my budget are Springfield Armory guns. Today's is a GI MilSpec.
When I read comments like: "1911's are good beginner guns. Slender grip, soft shooting. Eventually you realize they're archaic garbage, with a bunch of unnecessary safeties, and limited capacity. Accuracy sucks on the best 1911's compared with Glocks, M&P's, Sigs, etc.", I get a good laugh! Yeah, and another John Browning model is "archaic garbage" too, most refer to it as the Ma Deuce... shoots some old outdated round called .50 BMG, if I recall correctly.
I think it isn't so much about which design, brand, platform is "best", it's really what's best, for you. What you shoot best, are most comfortable with, and can carry and trust your life with, that's the gun you need.
I found mine a long time ago. What was true then, remains true today.
