For 2011, I'm considering buying my first 1911. I've never owned one because I generally shoot pivoting triggers better (revolvers, tupperware, etc.) Now, at the 100 year mark, I'd like to try one again--but which 1911?
On the other hand, if I'm going to buy a new gun, part of me just wants to buy a Beretta M9 or a S&W Nightwatch. What would you do to honor the 1911's 100 years of service?
Thanks for your suggestions.

- I don't want to spend a fortune so most Wilson-Baer-Brown products are off the table (probably).
- I like retro guns but is the 1911 "perfect" as it was?
- I like modern guns, but can a ported, dot sighted 1911 be carried frequently?
- I'm not opposed to plastic frames or laser engraving.
- I have no problem switching to a 9mm, such as the SA EMP.
- I want to be able to carry the pistol concealed several days per week.
