Yes, I still carry a 1911. Sometimes it is a full size all steel and but most of the time now, it is an aluminum frame commander. I do carry two extra magazines as well. I have high capacity 9 mm pistols and shoot them well but, given a choice, I prefer the 1911 in 45 ACP.

I hear a lot about having all the rounds that a 9mm brings to the table but the big city SWAT guys I have talked with all carry 1911s in 45 ACP (one guy carries a Glock full size 45 ACP but he has huge hands). They all say the same thing, that the bad guys just go down faster when hit with the 45.
