The classic 1911 platform remains a favorite for personal defense because of its ergonomics, trigger feel, and proven controls. When selecting a compact semi-automatic for home or concealed carry, prioritize controls you can manipulate under stress, optic readiness, and a transparent condition history from the seller.
