My stepbrother has fired thousands and thousands of rounds through his RIA 1911 and it still functions perfectly. I have owned four Rugers and haven't managed to wear any of them out, including a Single Six that I shot ridiculous amounts of rounds through, and cruelly abused, throughout my teens and twenties.
On the one hand, a double-action might be more suitable for self defense, and 9mmo is less expensive.
On the other hand, 1911 parts should be available for the rest of his life, but the P-series parts will dry up eventually.
The good news is that they are both good choices, so it's pretty much win/win.
