I've got some pretty nice 1911s but my favorite is my 1911DK. Early on had some problems with prematures slide locks - but after I cut a detente in the slide stop it's been 100%. I replaced the sear and hammer spring, mainspring, and flat trigger (I prefer a curved trigger). It has a crisp trigger pull of 3 lbs 11 oz.

Still shoots like this (30 yards) after +7500 rounds.
