I've shot a Taurus 1911 didn't seem all that bad but wasn't sure about wear and longevity of it after it jammed twice, in defense it may have not liked the ammo I was using. I have shot a brand new Springfield that the trigger was so stiff I had to look down to make sure it was off safety three times. No joking on that one, and it was a $1200+ gun. Thats bad. I have a Kimber pro carry II 45 and that's a sweet functioning gun. I have never had the pleasure of shooting a really expensive 1911 but maybe one day. So out of the three I'll list them as I would choose them.

Kimber because they are that good.
Taurus because it seemed it could be manageable with the right ammo
Springfield nah, no one should pay that much for something new that needs a gunsmith to make it work right.
