The only reason I can think of that would cause me to make that decision is the option we don't talk about around here and if that is the scenario we are referring to then I'm glad so many of you are keeping your 1911s. That will leave a bunch more ammo for me and my XDm in .40 caliber. I have the 3.8 Compact and it is built like a tank, has a tough finish, is super easy to field strip, offers the option of 11 round or 16 round mag, is reasonably concealable with the 11 round mag and makes a better/heavier club than a Glock if I run out of ammo.
