While I agree that 1911's are the coolest thing since bleu cheese and I've owned several, I carry a Beretta 92FS with no apology (and I'm a retired PI with my own Da Nang hat, even ).
I find that the grip-to-barrel angle provides a more natural point-to-aim than the 1911 (at least it does for me). I can present the Beretta from the holster with my eyes closed, open them, and find the sights in perfect alignment, and the pistol shoots flawlessly right to the POA. Why carry a gun that requires re-training muscle memory for that feature?
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.

And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
