I will say that, if I were going through the same decision process today, I would look hard at the XD family. Heck, you can even tell your 1911 friends that you're carrying a Springfield Armory. Brazil. Croatia. What's the difference?

Re: Convince me on the "Plastic Guns"
I think I mentioned in one of my first posts that I used to carry a 1911 and they still hold a special place in my heart, but I now carry a Glock. There were two primary issues that contributed to my decision. The first was my experience that Glocks are generally good to go straight out of the box, whereas the 1911s I trust have all been to pistolsmiths. The second was environmental, insofar as I don't worry about sweating all over my sidearm when I'm carrying a Glock. There are other pros and cons to the Glock, and only you can decide what's going to work best for you. For example, if money is no object, a true custom 1911 finished in some wunder-kote is one answer to the reliability and environemtal issues.
