I have a 1911 .45 auto that was built from various makers parts. It currently has the standard grip safety, and an aftermarket hammer that is larger than the standard issue- I have always struggled with hammer bite when shooting a 1911, although I can shoot the 1911 with what for me is acceptable accuracy- I am concerned with durability, and functionability as well. I know I can replace the safety/hammer with a beavertail safety and compatible hammer. With this gun being made up of various manufacturers parts, I am not sure about sinking additional funds into it for this process and buying a conversion kit as well.
I have handled the Glock 21 and 30, and like the way these guns seem to sit lower in my hand. I have also handled the Springfield XD-45, and the CZ 97b- The Springfield feels the best in my hand, but I am not sure of durability/reliability with this gun. I have fired a cz97b, and it is quite large and handfilling to say the least.
I am interested in winding up with a .45 semi-auto that will also have a conversion kit to shoot .22's. The gun should be totally reliable, durable, and reasonably easy to carry.
If you are so inclined, please explain your choice-
