The first 1911 I owned was a basic Springfield Armory GI model. It never functioned reliably and ended up going away.
Second was a Colt stainless steel Series 80 Commander. Shot great, and was reliable, I had the trigger reworked and it was even better.
My son has that one now and loves it.
Third is a S&W stainless 1911. Gritty trigger which was re-worked by a local gunsmith and is great and also very reliable.
Fourth is a Kimber stainless Eclipse II 1911. Well used but the trigger was reworked by the same gunsmith and is great and again, reliable.
A decent trigger is a huge benefit to any 1911. Having reliable function is a must.
A skilled competent gunsmith that really understands 1911s can be the difference between a so-so pistol and one that is a joy to own and shoot and the cost involved is often not that much.
