And I've got two XD tacticals (9mm & .45) that you can't talk me out of.  FWIW - I would check out the XDm 9mm, maybe the new 3.8 version, or look into a S&W M&P in 9mm since you seem to have a rationale for your caliber choice. Sorry, I'm (obviously) not a Glock fan. Otherwise a Sig 229, 250 or the USP varient. Why give up magazine capacity in favor of nostalgia with the 1911? I've personally used everything except the M&P and the 250. I've got respected friends who've given me input on them, that's why I'm comfortable with passing the opinion. Good luck.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
