Can't fault that logic.
I think what it boils down to is that any modern 1911 from a reputable manufacturer is going to shoot well enough that the gun itself will not be the weak link.
I read a 600cc sportbike shootout in
Cycle World a couple of years ago. The editors said that any bike you buy today in that class is better than you are, freeing all of us up to "pick like a girl" - pick the color you like. Yes, they were able to differentiate their performance - on a race track, with professional riders. The rest of us can't.
We have reached that happy state of affairs with the modern 1911. Stick with the reputable manufacturers, and you simply cannot buy a "bad" one. If, somehow, your luck is horrible and you find the one that slipped through, those reputable manufacturers will make it right for you.
So, just pick the one you like, the one that floats your boat. It's really hard to go wrong these days.
