Not sure about issue 1911 vs issue M9. If there's complain of poor accuracy of M9, I'm willing to bet it's the shootability (rear-heavy among other factors) instead of its mechanical accuracy. Also the inherent accuracy/aerodynamics of 9mm vs. 45. IIRC, when the AMU went to accurized M9, they blew the Marine shooters with their accurized 1911 out of the water at Camp Perry. This year at the President's 100. a Marine shooter won the match with M9 as well.
I was shooting steel challenge match in TX against a Marine shooter who's issued Kimber operator, altho he was using his personal STI. He sure loves his 1911's and beat me by .24 seconds. Is that worth the extra $$$$ against my cheap ass tupperware 9mm pistol, you decide  ....oh, that $$$ STI did "burp" more than a few times. LIttle dent on magazine lip...burp. Not enough lubrication....burp. Poor reloads ammo....burp....and so on
