I have had one aluminum framed 1911. The Dan Wesson CCO in .45 ACP, I fucking hated it and it never functioned 100%. Get one in 9mm, if you’re looking at 9mm ones, then the Alpha Foxtrot S-15 1911 should be something you look at, it uses Glock 43X mags so it can use the Shield 15 rounders for almost the same thickness as a single stack. I have seen one anon with one and he liked it

9mm aluminum frames will probably last a long time, 1911s seem to have the strength of steel important to the longevity of the frame so .45 ACP aluminum frames eventually will fail.

I’m insane, but I’m perfectly fine carrying a full size steel 1911 all day appendix.

A Magwell on an officer frame is kind of ridiculous since you’re inching closer the the length of a full-size. Big baseplate magazines as well.
