My question is does the lower capacity worry any users of the 1911?
If I can't get the job done with 8+1 I'm probably toast anyway.

Not me. I would grab BOTH guns. The Glock would go in the waistband. The 1911 in my right hand.Making a real life decision regarding this discussion, I had to create a scenario to see what I would do. Here it is: You are in a hotel, 2nd floor above the lobby. You hear A LOT of shooting and screaming. You can grab ONLY one gun, and must choose between a 1911 +1 loaded 8 rnd mag, or a G 19 w/ +1 loaded 15 rnd.
I love my 1911 & shoot it really well, but in that scenario I'm grabbing the Glock.

Abandoning your sconce and entering into a fray that's already in motion is:
A...A very good way to get shot all to Helen Gone, and:
Yes.Do you trust the 1911 for combat?
No.My question is does the lower capacity worry any users of the 1911?
As stipulated, I would not be leaving the room.
unless the combatants on the ground floor are Seal Team 6, bent on annihilation of all who dwell in the building...
My department mandates that we carry Sigs. While I can't carry a 1911, I do carry a Sig .45 P220. It has 8 round mags. I just carry four of them in a mag holder made to hold four. It's never concerned me. I can perform a mag change pretty quickly.
