For me personally, I don't like double stack magazine grips in 1911. That's the major reason I like 1911's. The single stack grip just feels right in my hands. I have a NHC 10mm that was my EDC and it's great, but, I could only find one brand new in 10mm (without having to order and wait for a year) and is was with the longer 5" barrel. I've always preferred the shorter Commander length barrel and I special ordered one (a DW stainless steel Specialist Commander) from Dan Wesson in 10mm and it is fantastic. The match trigger and barrel are about as good as my NHC. So I switched it out with my NHC as my EDC.
I was going to buy one for my daughter, but, she didn't have the hand strength to pull the slide all the way back to chamber rounds. So, I found her one in 9mm and she has zero issues pulling the slide all the way back to chamber rounds. I found it brand new in the box on Gunbroker for only $1,300 shipped. All of the other dealers started at almost $1,500.
It has all of the features that I wanted in a 1911 (except for the matte finish and checkered grips that I don't care for) including a match grade trigger, match grade barrel, night sights, light rail, and a magwell. Standard magazines are only 8 or 9 rds. But, who cares as long as you carry extra magazines and practice speed combat reloads.
