Trying to pickout a 1911 for personal protection and home defense can be difficult. It seems that the present offerings from Springfield, Kimber, Para Ordnance, etc. all seem to be geared to target shooting or competition shooting. I just read Chuck taylor's book "Combat Handgunnerey." I don't know his reputation, but after reading his book, he sure seems knowledgeable. Anyway, after reading the book, it really made me want to get a 1911 style pistol for personal protection. I'd really like to purchase a stainless one because it seems that stainless would logically hold up better and if I should ever use it for CCW, it would resist rust and humidity better. But here's where I get confused. After reading some posts here and over at the 1911 forums, most of these newer 1911's seem to only feed the standard FMJ or hardball ammo reliably. So here's my question, which of the major brands of new 1911's will feed hollowpoint ammunition reliably and serve well as a personal defense weapon? Thanks in advance.
